Submitted by Aaron a from La Verne CA USA
Date Reviewed: July 8, 2006
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $600.00
Purchased At:INCYCLE
Strengths:Beautiful best looking bike i have ever seen in my life strong the frame is indestructable but over the 4 years i have had it the head tube has become a bit ovalized but other than that it is rock solid and idk if its really ovalized i bought some new bearings and bearing cups and they pressed in frimly but it seems just a bit sloppy
Weaknesses:The rear hub is a breaker, due to the left hand right hand capability it has to have the rear bearings be really close togeather and they are verry small and some rough 180s and 360s when its not perfectly adjusted will cuase you to obliterate your bearings but o well they are only 15 for the pair at your local bearing house

Bike Setup:stock
Bottom Line:get rid of those dam wheels! and its perfect sure is a looker sad they discontinued them

Submitted by Guillermo Roman a Weekend Warrior from Lima-Peru
Date Reviewed: December 27, 2002
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $750.00
Purchased At:Hudson Trail Outfitters (Rockville, MD)
Strengths:My coments are about the 2001 model. Most people that test mine agree about its solid construction. The frame design is great, the geometry is perfect. It's original configuration -990 brakes, Alex Supra Zigma Pro rims, sealed 14mm hubs, high pressure (100 PSI) tires, 3 pieces crankset, and everything oversized- brought that bile the better price-benefit relation I was looking for.
Weaknesses:Too heavy (quality sometimes means sacrifices). The forks were not as good as the frame. And the crankset, althought it seems as strong as the famous Profile SS crankset, is really bad. What do I mean? I used a Redline Flite 401 180mm crankset for about 16 years in my other bike (a classic '86 GT Pro Series racing bike) 'til today. The Specialized crankset, despite its strong and heavy look, became broken a couple of months ago... after just two years!
Similar Products Used:1986 GT Pro Series Team Model
1987 GT Mach One
1988 Haro FSX
1991 Haro Master
Bike Setup:I just made some upgrades on the original setup: Odyssey Modulevers, Hoffman Superforks and Primo Meat Tenderizer pedals
Bottom Line:The 2000 model was good, the 2001 was better. The 2002 model was bad, but for 2003 Specialized returned to the path... Despite the little problems I described above, I love my 2001 415 Pro bike. Some people asked me to sale it, but I'll never let it go... It is as heavy as strong, maybe too much for a 30 years old guy (I was riding since 1986) but quality is something to die for... especially when we talk about freestyling...
