Date Reviewed: December 12, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | A very good racing bike, climbing is easy,if you have the right legs. I use the bike every day (not when it's raining)and I raced on it 9 cross country. 2 wins! | | Weaknesses: | Exept noises from the brakes when they are hot, I had a lot of punctures.In warranty sobstitution of the front caliper because it filled out few oil. Now it work very good | | Similar Products Used: | Scapin blato XTR | | Bike Setup: | American classic seatpost, Onza cwa pro cut bar ends | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike, because I can feel the power of my legs when I ride it. Brakes and fork are better tan the F3000 disc,that was my last bike, and I like the lockout mechanism, it can help me in climbings. Only a negative aspect for me, the price. So if you have a sponsor...there's no problems | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Hanna Park | | Duration Product Used: |
tested or demo'ed only | | Strengths: |
Quick, sharp handling and a nice paint job. | | Weaknesses: |
Sharp handling can cut both ways and a little more noise from drivetrain than a Shimano user expects. | | Similar Products Used: |
Dean Scout, Lightspeed Tsali | | Bike Setup: |
Stock | | Bottom Line: | A nice hardtail, but I haven't ridden few others. I loved the gripshift and the discs were ok though I'm not sure they are a net plus. Real nice ergo's with good bars and grips that felt like they were just where they needed to be. For me an 18 speed should be enough so I like not carrying more. Put a Syncro's stem on it and I guess you've got a perfect race bike. I don't race but I do like to go as fast as possible so I'm getting one. Four star only because I'm not 100% sure about the Coda discs and Cannondale F4000 reviews are pretty negative here. | Overall Rating: |
