Strengths: i olny got the frame and handlebars but the bars are crap so i put new bars on and all my old parts of my vegas and bought slim bars
Weaknesses: the bars
Bottom Line:
the frame is gr8 the bak end is heavy and i had 2 buy a new bak tire cuz the max daddys 2.225s dont fit on it and the crank wat crap so i got a 3pic for it
Strengths: Love it! heavy rear end makes grinds easy - hardly any damage! few dents here and there! Fitted a profile dj crankset for weight, took off gyro, and front brake. 36 cnc hoffman chainring, and i was away!!!
Weaknesses: Heavy rear end means bunny hopping is rather hard. brakes werent set-up good, until i got to it! tyres wear out very easily, especially the rear! - too much skidding!
Bike Setup: Standard, no ffonr brake, no gyro, primo rear tyre, profile cranks, dimaonback pedals, fsa pig headset, kmc chain, 36t sprocket, s+m seat, primo seat clamp and a few other adjustments.

Strengths: It's just plain sweet. It puts the Cha in Cha-Ching.
Weaknesses: Shut up fool I'll bust a cap
Bottom Line:
I'll bust a cap fool! This bike is wicked sweet....buy it! Or I might just have to bust a fricken' cap. So take that. If you want a light-weight bike though, this bike is pretty heavy. It's still wicked sweet though. Buy it and you'll see. Or don't and I'll just have to bust a fricken' cap. Oh yeah.

Strengths: good frame and forks ,my wheels are not yet buckled from doing high jumps ,and its got some nice hoffman parts like stem ,seat ,seatpost and pegs which are utra strong.
Weaknesses: Its got a tacky 1 peace crank but it can easily be replaced wiht a 3pc. The bars might aswell be made of cotton and the headset has caused me so much trouble and iv had to buy 3 new ones
Bottom Line:
the bike is good for about 3 mounths but then it starts to get broken parts, so if you replace them with good parts you can turn it into a high quality bmx

Strengths: Good Balance, 14MM Axles, Confortable Seat and grips, The tires are good even after skidding a lot
Weaknesses: Paint Scratches Easily, the paint comes off the black rims, should be a few pounds lighter
Bottom Line:
Should have 3 pc. cranks, Good bike for beginner, can be easily converted to a trail bike, good for the money. the next step is $450 with the hoffman star series
only has povvy 1 piece cranks, and a few other bag things about it, but once u spend a little extra it becomes a very good reliable bike, nice weight distribution
+the front axle isn't oversized though the back is oversized 14mm!! whats with that?
Bike Setup: I have the blue900, a few things have been changed, oddyssey pedals, 65psi tires skidmark, profile grips, flame seat, 3 piece Perv hollow cranks, Mgneil 6mm chainwheel 39 teeth, shimano freewheel 16 teeth.
a few others
I paid $760 for the bike and the 3 piece perv cranks (AU money) - it's about $350 US
