Strengths:
2002 RM20 (red/white)well the frame is a good design, its a 21.25" top tube and its got nice room in the front, the wheels are very strong , 3 piece AXELS , nice ac cranks, euro bb is a nice touch, bars are similar feel to slams, sealed headset and pedals,
Weaknesses:
the forks are pretty heavy, as stock the front end is heavier than the back, but i put sinister forks and its almost even, the front is a little lighter now, not much to complain about
Similar Products Used:
i also have a 2000 k2 shadrak, its a nice race/trails bike
Bike Setup:
on my rm 20, i put sinister forks, and i put a profile stema nd barends, this bike comes really good stock, at a reasonable price
Bottom Line:
good race bike, very smooth, comes decked as stock, just needs lighter forks, umm not many other bikes in that price range come with good cranks and sealed headset and sealed pedals, and nice wheels, very respectable, one of the best deals out there
