Submitted by Bobby MacMillan a Racer from Uranus
Date Reviewed: February 28, 2000
Favorite Trail:Anything cool
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:The bike had some good geometry before it broke at the head tube
Weaknesses:It broke at the head tube
Similar Products Used:Schwinn HomeGrown Pro, Specialized Stump Jumper M-2
Bike Setup:Totally trials: Cannondale aluminum fork, XT V's Little chainring etc.
Bottom Line:The bike stood up to a lot of abuse before it finally bought the farm off a six foot vert drop. The thing had gone off quite a few in its day but I guess it was just too much. The head tupe cracked right at the weld. The damn thing was useless after that. Good value if you dont ride hard, otherwise forget it. BUY A SCHWINN!!!!
