from Springfield, IL, USA Date Reviewed: October 8, 2010 Strengths: Frame and wheels are phenominal - good climber, great over the rough stuff, stable and fast on descents. A better bike than I am a rider. Weaknesses: Well, I bought this used - it's a '98 I think, bought in 2010, so it needed a couple of things - but not much! Ditched the quirky handlebars for some slight riser bars and the front fork was frozen so I put on a Pilot I had sitting around and I just LOVE this bike. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: Individual Similar Products Used: Just about everything in its class - Cannondales, Gary Fishers, Specialized, Redline, etc. Bike Setup: Original frame, wheelset, shifters, brakes, derailleurs, seat. Replaced stem, fork, bars, grips, tires.

from Tromsø, Norway Date Reviewed: November 24, 2007 Strengths: This review is for the Scott comp racing with the Tange 696 LiteFlite tubing. (steelframe). It is light, very quick and responsive, but still rides smooth. A very nice and light steelframe. Weaknesses: No Disctabs (on this bike I would´nt want any), Can rust if scratches are not taken care of. The geometry is originally suited for a short travel fork (60-70 mm)I use a 80 mm SID and it is no problem, it only rides better on the descents, but is still very quickturning. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Curvy singeltrack anywhere Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: Lots of alubikes, and I own a Bridgestone MB2. Bike Setup: Have built up this bike from just the frame: SID fork, xtr/517 wheels, Scott scale stem, Kalloy uno seatpost (26.2 mm is hard to find). Sram rocket shorty shifters, xtr derr., Wtb rocket w stealth saddle, Control-tech handlebar. Shimano hollowtech crank. Hutchinson python air light/ Continental twister supersonic (depending on the terrain i am riding)
