Strengths: Frame-it is lightweight,stiff and responsive and helps you climb and race fast.Weaknesses: Icon bars, seatclamp.Bottom Line: This is a bike aimed primarily at XC and it does that well. It is very fast and great for climbs. It is not a downhill bike although it has inspired confidence in me for all types of riding. The bikes strength is its frame , which is the best frame i've ever had. Great bike , but if you were to upgrade componentry you would have a top of the range race bike. Hard to beat.

Strengths: Climbs like a mountain goat on speed. Super frame. Overall quality.Weaknesses: Straight icon bars and no quick release on seat. Thats it, no real weaknesses.Bottom Line: This is a great bike. The frame makes it a classic worth keeping and upgrading. You can race and win XC, but this bike can also handle anything you chuck at it. I've bounced down mountain sides in the lake district and Scotland that people were climbing down. As long as you adjust your seat this bike just gives you so much control and confidence. It keeps you in front and leaves your fellow bikers wishing they could ride like you!...but it's the bike thats done it. Buy one !

Strengths: Great deal for the money, working at a shop I can get pretty much any bike I want. I wanted a complete bike that was set up, right out of the box. This bike was it. Climbs well and handles great. Tight singletrack is what we have here and this bike LOVES it. I am not ashamed to show up on shop rides alongside the Moots, Litespeeds and Bontragers...Weaknesses: None that I can findBottom Line: Great bike for the price and well set up from the get go. If you can find one get one, as they are no longer made.

Strengths: Nice colour, good tone to the bell, basket holds quite a bit of shopping.Weaknesses: Lack of tassles on the end of the handle barsBottom Line: This bike is the mutts nutts. I can not fault it. My mate has an F500 and I believe the Trek 7000 has the edge.(I have a preference for the flick shifters as opposed to the twist grip).
Favorite Trail: Cribb Goch / Down the shop
Duration Product Used: 6 months
Price Paid:
$1280.00
Similar Products Used: F500, Raleigh Grifter and Chopper, this bike I made from bits my dad feltched from the local tip.
Bike Setup: Replaced the standard handle bars with these massive cow horns. Put some playing cards in the spokes, held to the frame with clothes pegs to make it sound like a motorbike.

Strengths: This bike is awsome it is light and wicked fast. I really beat up my bikes and it the toughest one i haveWeaknesses: this bike is very stiff and angle forward so it is awsome for climbing, but u gatta watch it when u come bombing down the trail, I have flipped more than a few times. Brakes that come with the bike are a kinda crappy, thats why I got new onesBottom Line: This is a kick ass bike, for the money I think that it is one of the best bikes u can buy

Strengths: Great frame, wheelsWeaknesses: Chainsucking transmissionBottom Line: Really great stiff & light frame. The wheels seem good too, light and strong and pretty capable of keeping the english mud out of the bearings. Transmission not so great, I'm dubious about the Icon chainset and rings as I've suffered really bad chainsuck. All in all a really good ride though. The money is spent in the right places, frame and wheels. The other bits are sensibly chosen, a good all-round package.

Bottom Line:
Just put the first 50 miles on my new 1999 Trek 7000. It has been seriously upgraded from 1998, and costs about the same (I paid $860). I'm a 37 year old steer at 255lbs. and wore out a bunch of 21 year old kids. This bike can really climb. The Judy XC's worked great, even at my weight. Five Flaming Chili's!
