Strengths: Nice aluminum frameWeaknesses: The quadra fork it came with blows, and the gripshift and handlebars had to go, the wheels are "ok" but I wanted better.Bottom Line: The bike in its OME state was ok for newbie riders. boughty wife and she didn't ride it much. It is a 1996 frame (acid orange color), and got it cheaper because the color wasn't selling. I recently cracked theeadtube on my Norco so I switched everything over to my wife's frame. The bike rocks now.

from Ch'Town P.E.IDate Reviewed: June 27, 1999
Strengths:
It is a very strong mid weight bicycle with good enough compoments that it hits every gear and brakes on a dime.Its a great buy for the bills.Weaknesses:
For a racer it could use some component upgrades and a better race ready shock is required.Bottom Line: It is in my opinion the best bike for the bills for the young racers out there,or for those who like to go hard.
Favorite Trail:
Polly Mountain
Duration Product Used:
3 months
