Price Paid: $250.00
Purchased At:Urmmm....
Strengths:Really strong and solid feel to It, I feel confident throwing anything on this rig...not that I can mind you ;) Very smooth In riding too, from dirt to street.
Weaknesses:Ermmm, the pedals are kinda poor In the wet...can get slippy fast, not to mention painful. Also the bottom bracket ain't the strongest. I have to check and tighten mine every couple of sessions.
Similar Products Used:Nuuuu, first one
Bike Setup:I won't bore you ;)
Bottom Line:Idea for beginners and upwards I'd say, certainly gives you a lot of confidence to ride and try new tricks. Just keep your eye on the bottom bracket...though not while riding! ;) Superb, I love It

Strengths:Very Lightweight if you remove pegs, front brakes, cut the handlebars and seat post. Very strong and durable
Weaknesses:CRANK! the crank on this bike could use some work... I haveto tighten mine up everytime I ride. Snapped a brake cable last week doing tire taps, but other than that, no other weaknesses

Bike Setup:As of right now... I cut a half inch off the ends of the bars, removed the pegs, front brakes, cut the seat post shorter, abd added stickers ;)
Bottom Line:Great Bike for the price... I only paid 150 but noticed that other people paid more.. Just wish the crank was more durable.

Submitted by Jay Brenn a Cross Country Rider from australia, NSW, newicastle
Date Reviewed: October 28, 2005
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $170.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:Great strong bike. Can take nearly anything. Easy to pedal on and climb hills. Great for freestyle riding, dirt jumping or just simply cruising around your hood.
Weaknesses:The only real floor in this marvel is the weight of the bike. although its a very solid bike it does hav sum weight. i would suggest removing the peggs if your doing dirt jumping just to lighten it up a bit. the pegs add about an extra 1.2 kilograms. And sometimes the screws in the cranks come loose so you have to tighten them up every so often
Similar Products Used:mongoose pro menace
Bike Setup:????
Bottom Line:It is a great bike for me and it would be to many others. Littler riders may have more trouble getting it off the ground though. Very sturdy bike. Highly recomeded.

Favorite Trail:Jet
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $50.00
Purchased At:Used
Strengths:Very strong and durable bike, shouldn't get hesitant about doing anything on this bike, just because it feels very solid.
Weaknesses:Very front heavy, the stock fork on this bike is huge, and un-needed for urban riding, if your riding this bike in dirt the stock fork would be ok.
Similar Products Used:2001 Mongoose, 2002 Brodie Evolution
Bike Setup:Stock, DK Iron-Cross Sprocket
Bottom Line:Overall an excellent bike, only real down-fall I see is the front-heavy issue. If you don't plan on j/b-hopping you there shouldn't be any worries. If your more of an urban rider, through different bars on it, and your set.

Submitted by Tim a Racer from Hillsboro, Oregon and Ireland
Date Reviewed: July 4, 2005
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $150.00
Purchased At:Gart Sports
Strengths:Looks good, fits good even though I'm 6' tall, 3 piece cranks are good and long and frame seems to be rock solid and is nicely gussetted - welds appear to be of good strength - I've only had this bike since yesterday.
Weaknesses:None so far for the price
Similar Products Used:Various 1980's BMXs
Bike Setup:100% OEM
Bottom Line:Great bike for the price. It was priced originally at 199.99 but I got it for 149.99 after getting a 25% discount.
I thne spend some $60 dollars on various tools for the bike.
Note - you need to get 19mm socket and an extension bar to get off the pegs if you need to transport the bike, also get a 10mm spanner and a set of allen keys - that should get you started along with a philips #2 screwdriver.

Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $140.00
Purchased At:Ebay.com
Strengths:The GT Compe is an excellent street bike. It is great for just cruising, though when you want to show off some tricks this bike is very eager. A great bike for any level of skill.
Weaknesses:The one weakness of this bike is its weight. Though I enjoy a hevier bike, the steel frame wighs down the bike, making it harder to get the bike off the ground, especially if you are a little guy.
Bottom Line:This is an awesome bike that is hard to beat in its price range. I strongly reccomend this bike and give it a 98/100
