from Simi ValleyDate Reviewed: August 9, 2002
Strengths: Plush, Stiff, Durable, Easily maintained, low stand-over height, mono frame, grease ports, square rear triangle tubing. Built much like Ellsworth truth or Turner but into a mono frame design.Weaknesses: Limited travel versatility 3.5", but great if your not looking for more. Best run with air shock.Bottom Line: This is a great x-country, all around trail bike. I have taken this bike over all kinds of terrain, from ski lift downhill courses to x-country races. I built my Lg CXS to around 27.5lb. This thing has handled everything that I can throw at it. This bike is a great choice for someone who wants a high-end custom mono frame design with a four bar linkage system. Also the guys at Mtn Cycle are always there when I have tech questions.

a Cross-Country Rider
from Carrboro, NCDate Reviewed: August 6, 1999
Strengths:
Very Smooth
Easy to maintenanceWeaknesses:
Frame cracks
Slow warranty dept.
1 Year warranty
Frame cracks from cross country riding, any real thrashing and you take your life into hands.
Rear bobs a lot under heavy pedaling.
Frame cracked three times in less than a year.
It takes the warranty dept. at least a month to get you new frameBottom Line: I liked the bike initially, but it let me down to many times in just less than a years time of owning it. In that year I was without it at least three months for the warranty work, a month for each time the frame cracked. The only other product I have had this much trouble with is my White Bros. SC 90 Fork, they aren't even as durable as my Judy C were. I am only a 180lb rider and I ride cross country at about 10-20 mph, can't understand why that thing kept breaking. Buy one at your own risk.
