$900.00 | | Purchased At: | Paper | | Strengths: | Thoes plush DNM upside down forks, decent brakes, its reletivley light, quite well balanced and agile, decent ground clearance, oh yeah, it was really cheap | | Weaknesses: | Mmmmm, very suspect chain guide, massive front spocket, pogostick for a rear end (crappy dnm rear shock, ive felt better at Kmart) creaky cranks from hucking. Apparently the frame can crack around the rear linkages. | | Similar Products Used: | Kona Shred | | Bike Setup: | Pretty stock: Raceface chain guide, Blackspier 36t chainring, lots of matt black paint | | Bottom Line: | For the cash i dont think you can go wrong, especially if someone has already replaced a few bits (i.e chainguide, rear shock ect) which at this age they probably have.
Can be quite fast if not a little noisy and clunky.
Great value for money - dependant on parts pricing.
