Strengths:    the 2003 hoffman rhythm is a great bike. I have had no problems with it. although i have purchased over 500$ in upgrades, nothing has ever broken.

Weaknesses:    the rear rim will bend if you slam it into curbs enough...as with any other bike. great bike.

Bottom Line:   
the bike comes with a very nice setup, but after 2-3 years of riding you need change, nothing ever broke on it, just wanted a different feel every now and again

this bike is good for all riders, im an intermediate rider, (4-6 foot jumps, 6-20 foot gaps), and it has been worth all 440$ of it.)

im sure that the new models are very nice as well

Strengths:    Great bike for the money, has nice components (cranks, bars, forks). Good quality, hasn't failed on me yet.

Weaknesses:    A bit on the heavy side (only becasue i am used to a lighter GT), diatech hombre brakes are junk, paint scratches off fairly easy.

Bottom Line:   
great bike for the money but with the money that you save, get some Evolvers as well as a new lever (either modulever or Tech 77). Good bike for beginning trail riders (like myself) but will probably last you very long.

Strengths:    This bike was great, great looks, great strength and great value. It'll take a few days to wear in, but once that's done you can go and ride some great trails!!

Weaknesses:    Quite hard to assemble, and i had a problem with the break for a couple of days but i took it to a bike store and they sorted it out in 5 min's

Bottom Line:   
AWESOME!!!!!!1
