$2800.00 | | Purchased At: | University Bike Center | | Strengths: | This is a very fast bike and it can stand up to the punishment. I weigh 180lbs and ride a medium F3000 and I have had no problems. I average around 20-25 miles per ride when I can. | | Weaknesses: | Coda Parts, why put cheap parts on a great frame! | | Similar Products Used: | Gary Fisher Paragon | | Bike Setup: | XTR Brakes, XT Hollowtech Cranks, Rock Shox suspension seatpost, Time ATAC pedals, Ritchey Speedmax Tires, Bontrager Crow Bars, Salsa QR, Mavid 517 Rims, XTR Hubs | | Bottom Line: | This is an excellent cross-country machine. I have raced it a few times and it is a rocket. I don't think it could be set up any better. I just wish I had more time to ride it. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
