Date Reviewed: April 18, 1999 | | Favorite Trail: |
bigBlue/Strausburg Resivoir @ Elizbeth Furnace | | Duration Product Used: |
1 Year | | Strengths: |
versitility, climbs great, stablility at speed, yet threads technical virginia/wva single track with ease, incredible steel feel, beautiful welds/paint/chainstay protector | | Weaknesses: |
high sex appeal has led to several theft attempts. | | Similar Products Used: |
litespeed appalachian, independent fab | | Bike Setup: |
frame comes with color matched rigid fork- running a flexstem with a straight handlebar config, XT shifter/levers, MA40s on Hugi hubs, XTR drivetrain/brakes, Ritchey 40mm tires. | | Bottom Line: | I weigh 200 lbs- the Litespeed felt flexy compared to this bike (the Haka uses the same Moron tubing as the Mojo MTB- so it is about a pound heavier than the ti bike), the rack braze-ons make this an able commuter (i've toured italy with it as well)- you should see the faces on the riders i pass on singletrack climbs when they see the bike rack over my rear tire. - the sport utility vehicle of biking. | Overall Rating: |
