Strengths: Very solid bike, great on the trails. No major repairs needed in 2 years. Easy to adjust on your own. I spent hundreds on my last bike (CCM ice) every year to keep it running...haven't spent a dime on this one other than grease.Weaknesses: Color scheme not the greatest. Tires could be a little more agressive. Pedals needed to be replaced with aluminum ones cause I hate plastic.Bottom Line: Great bike for the intermediate rider who can't spend a fortune. What else can I say!!!
Duration Product Used: 2 Years
Price Paid:

Strengths: Good entry level mountian bike
Weaknesses: Some components could be upgraded. Wheels are weak, should upgradeBottom Line: I have used street tires for road touring trips and nobs for trail. Have been happy with this bike and adventure cycling has given a good review on this one also. Yes you could spend a lot more for more components but I'm glad that I didn't.

Strengths: Picked up a 99' GSX on sale for $400. Its my first true mountain bike, and let me tell you, it's an incredible ride. I Love this bike.Weaknesses: Only thing I would change would be to grab so more aggresive tires if you are going to be doing a lot of trail riding.Bottom Line: If your interested in mountain biking, the GSX will be your best buddy.

Bottom Line:
Although the Mesa GSX was downgraded in some key areas for 1999, it is still a great first real mountain bike. I own a 1998 model, which has been terrific so far. The changes were probably made because Schwinn sold many more Mesa GSX's than the pricier Moab's, which uses the same frame with a better drive train and fork. You can't go wrong with the Mesa GSX!
