$338.00 | | Purchased At: | Dorr's Family Bike Center | | Strengths: | Practically everything.
Frame
-Aluminum/alloy. Nice thick (forged) dropouts.
Rims
-ALEX aluminum. Nice for a cruiser rim. None have bent
yet.
Handlebars
-Hmmmmmmm. Chromoly---see below. | | Weaknesses: | NONE as of yet,
Handlebars
-They broke on me.It was in the weld-where it all started. they outlined the weld and sort of "tore", snapping one half side of my handlebars while leaving the other side dangling.I'm getting it worked out in the warranty though, because it definetly seems like a muafunction in the weld. Otherwise, we'll see how my next set will work out(I'm sure they'll be just fine-they are still strong handlebars). Nothing has given me trouble otherwise. | | Similar Products Used: | Diamondback Viper (read the report(: )
GT (DYNO VFR)
I own Both bikes.I also have tested many cruisers at bike shops. | | Bike Setup: | Go to www.redline.com to read all the specs or just look above my report on this page. | | Bottom Line: | _*_*_*_*GREAT BIKE*_*_*_*
_*_*_*_*AWESOME VALUE*_*_*_
I WAS scared to buy a cruiser and give up my 20's, but NOW I reccomend anybody over 5'9" and still growing (I'm 5'11",170lbs at 13)to buy a cruiser. This is a fun bike to ride. It is strong, VERY LIGHT and has practically the same handling as a 20". I was going ot buy the "FLIGHT CRUISER" from redlilne but there wasn't enogh of a difference between the two bikes that made it worth spending an extra $170. I'd rather take that money and customize my own bike to my needs. This bike also has GREAT VALUE for the price. I reccomend this bike.
P.S. It doesn't feel like a mountain bike-for any of you who are afraid of giving up 20" bikes. It's actually FUN to have 24" wheels. But I do say, if you are short, try to stay with a 20", otherwise it probably WILL feel like a mountain bike to you.-those are my opinions. Test bikes out and see which one you like. That is the best way to find a bike (I did this and found the right one for myself). | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
