Strengths:
Hand-built
low price
speced well

Weaknesses:
hubs
brakes

Bottom Line:

This bike is an awesome bike for the price. The Judy C soaks up the trail really well for a lower end fork. The hand-built frame (all Devinci frames are hand-built) offers tonnes of strength and will last any rider a long time. With a Shimano XT/LX drivetrain, this bike shifts perfectly and I have yet to have a problem with the 9 speed drivetrain. I am upgrading the Avid brakes to Shimano's and the wheelset to Mavic Crosslink. Also comes standard with Wellgo WPD 800 clipless pedals.

Bottom Line:

If you're looking for something great; look no further!! This bike handles so well, it feels as though it's just an extension of myself. There's nothing it doesn't do flawlessly, both in handling and stablility. For those of you that shop with that I'll know it when I see it method.......well............ you just saw it!
