Submitted by Andrew a Weekend Warrior from Medford, OR, USA
Date Reviewed: April 11, 2007
Favorite Trail:The bike path to the next town
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Purchased At:My buddies
Strengths:Looks nice, I repainted it olive drab green from the original money green since alot of the paint was gone.
Weaknesses:Bearing cups were in too tight, I want to put in a new head-set but I'm having issues.
Similar Products Used:My Rare Devil, since they were both just frames when I got them.
Bike Setup:No name 3pc, old crsty Redlie pedals for now, some cut-down Haro bars, Haro forks...and I'm waiting on new oversized rims.
Bottom Line:Bottom line, I'm broke...I'm trying to work on the Rare Devil more since it's a present for my girlfriend and the only reason I'm building this Redline is cuz mt Mach-1 got stolen last week and i need a new ride.

Favorite Trail:What looks kool to ride
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:Mr. Bike
Strengths:Stong Frame, all around good bike for a person of little skill or those that go balls out.
Weaknesses:Heavy setup when stock, came with a 1pc crank, pedals blew bearings out after a week. Minor mods can reduce that though.
Similar Products Used:'95 GT Vertigo, currently building a Fit aitken S3
Bike Setup:holly roller tires, monster fork, specialized 3pc crank, redline 48 spoke hubs with xrims, go fast pedals
Bottom Line:K bottom line is i bought this bike in high school when road till we could see the front tire of the bike. I left the bike the way it was pretty much besides the 3pc crank. Reason i didnt do much to the bike was money reasons and time. But the bike was perfict for my riding style at the time, i was a light weight kid that loved doing big air tricks, the bike had the weight to move its self through the air once i got it started. Over all the bike will take a beating and keep you riding as long as you keep it well maintained.

Favorite Trail:Autumn Ramp Park
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $250.00
Purchased At:Joplin Bike and Fitness
Strengths:Strong frame, good grips, gyro system
Weaknesses:Too big of handlebars, rims are weak, 1pc crank is weak, pedals, sprocket.
Similar Products Used:Fit Am
Bike Setup:Cut down handlebars, Oddessy Brake lever (got stolen), oddessy linear brake cable, diatech hombre brake system, shadow conspiracy seat.

Submitted by jason a Weekend Warrior from reno, nv
Date Reviewed: August 3, 2003
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $200.00
Strengths:frame, hubs
Weaknesses:crank, rims, chain, brakes
Bottom Line:not a bad bike for the price. the crank is weak as are the rims. i would recommend a profile 3 peice as the stock one bends fairly easily. the stock rims also bend easily. the frame is also just a tad bit long, but thats more personal preference. all in all, a good bike to start off of.
