Submitted by Michael a Racer from San Ramon, California, USA
Date Reviewed: July 25, 2003
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $200.00
Bottom Line:A truly amazing bike. I got it on sale. The day i bought it, i had tried many bikes at the dealer. This one has a really good feel to it. A very stable bike. Also lighter than most of the "GT" racers. Ive gone jumping with it and racing with it. No replacements. .The only problem is that 1 loose screw on left pedal thing. Have to screw it in every half hour or so of riding. Otherwise, an amazing bike.Bout a week ago my parents offered to buy me a new bike, but i love my assault ex. If you can find it, buy it!
