    Strengths:    LBS quality and components at Wallymart price.

    Weaknesses:    2002 and 2004 models have 100mm front forks, but for some reason 2003s come with 80mm Dukes, which doesn't match the rear travel. Changed to Black Elite 100mm and also ditched the pedals for Mallets and much better.

    Bottom Line:   
    Big name brand models costing $500 more got nothing on Apogee LX. 2004 model addressed my only beef, 80mm forks.

    Strengths:    Bike is flawless. Frame has great welds. Ride is awesome no corners were cut.

    Weaknesses:    NONE

    Bottom Line:   
    IBEX customer service is second to none. I got more than expected. Wish I knew about this company a year ago. This company is up and coming quick. And with products like this they will be here to stay. They have something for everyone Pro's to children. Money well spent on a TOP NOTCH product.
