$500.00 | | Purchased At: | Ebay | | Strengths: | Great feel. Nice balance. Just enough suspension. Climbs great and handles technical downhills great. I wasn't sure about purchasing it because you really can't find them out there much. But it was cheaper than the big names and handles just as well. Great bike. | | Weaknesses: | Haven't found any yet. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized FSR | | Bike Setup: | Rock Shock Reba, Fox Float RP3, Shimano Disk Brakes, Truvatev | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for the price. I'd buy another one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$200.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Store off Ebay | | Strengths: | The price was Great! I was a hard tail rider looking for a full suspension with little rear sway. This frame design with the lower stablization bar works great. | | Weaknesses: | Finding the correct headset for it! | | Similar Products Used: | KHS 704, KHS alite 4000 | | Bike Setup: | Full XTR drivetrain, Hayes HFX-9 brakes, Fox RLT 100, Rock Shox SID rear, Ritchey PRO stem, bars and Post. | | Bottom Line: | Great price! Performs Great! I have had no problems or worries with this bike. I am even selling my other rigs because they are not needed anymore( except for my single speed). I am very satisfied. Most riders would enjoy this bike. It is not one of the big name bike companies, but they have been around for a long time and this is a quality bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Purchased At: | BIG WEEL CYCLE | | Strengths: | I fell so far a very strong frame and light for the size of it. | | Weaknesses: | None so far. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek fuel 100 | | Bike Setup: | SID FRONT AND REAR, XT DRIVE TRAIN, IRC TIRES. | | Bottom Line: | Well, this is my third frame. Raleigh has been very nice with the warranty. They replaced all with no questions asked. I am not sure if this one will hold up. With 195 pounds, I ride only cross country no major jumps, just roots and lose rocks around here. I sure hope so this frame will last for a long time. Would you let me know if anyone had any problems with this frame? I hope this bike will hold me up, at 39 this is the best exercise I ever done.
Take care everyone and be safe. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
