If your looking to build a light durable and sweet looking all mountain rig with 5" travel, this is it.
So far Ive taken it on a few rides and I love the way it climb, bombs hills and pedals without bobbing.
The all black looks tight too..

Price Paid:
$700.00
Purchased At:
ebay
Strengths:
Fairly Light , well made , low $
Weaknesses:
Azonic "stickers" on the tubes are Cheap and peeling .
Bike Setup:
fox float , sram XO , single track wheels
Bottom Line:
Not really a XC bike , more of an All Mountain . You can build this up in the sub 30lbs area . Single pivot design works well with the three way , no pedal bob for me on the climbs . A great value , just look at the price of a similar design from one of the other bike companies and you will see this is quite the BAr-gooon .

LIMITED FLEX TORSIONALLY. LIGHT WEIGHT. SMOOTH PIVOT AND GOOD BALANCE IN THE SUSPENSION FROM FRONT TO REAR.

KLEIN PALAMINO
Bike Setup:
THIS IS A CUSTOM BUILT BIKE. HAYES JUICY 7'S, SRAM X-9, XT BB, CRANKBROS 50/50 PEDALS, AZONIC OUTLAW WHEELSET WITH THROUGH AXLES, KENDA TIRES, ALL VERY NICE. DOMAIN FRONT SHOCK AND FOX UPGRADE REAR SHOCK.
Bottom Line:
THE BIKE IS VERY COOL. LOOKS COOL WITH THE WHITE RIMS AND BARS ON THE BLACK FRAME. BALANCE IS GOOD, TRAVEL IS SMOOTH. VERY AGILE AND CONSISTENT. i THINK THE BIKE WAYS ABOUT 33 OR 34 POUNDS, COULD BE LIGHTER IF A PERSON WAS LOOKING FOR MORE OF A xc FEEL RATHER THAN AND ALL MOUNTAIN. I LIKE IT BETTER THAN MY KLEIN EVEN THOUGH IT IS 8 POUNDS HEAVIER.
