Date Reviewed: March 24, 1999

Strengths:    
I have put a deposit down on this machine. I came here to see if there were and other reviews on it, but did not find a page. I have tested the bike, read about it on the web, talked to other riders and it is a great bike. I can not wait to pick it up.


Weaknesses:    
None yet, and I do not think that there will be


Bottom Line:   
I think that for $3200 Aus bucks, you can not go wrong. Thanks
