$300.00 | | Strengths: | cheap. same frame as sherman | | Weaknesses: | parts are crap | | Similar Products Used: | a gt a trek and a few borrowed haros | | Bike Setup: | milk bars & thermal forks, fsa pig, primo seat & pedals, profile cranks | | Bottom Line: | lasted me (an almost 190lb rider) over a year but only frame & stem are still standard -everything else has broken but find a bike for less than my cranks and wheels cost that won't. I dont regret buying this bike -theres not alot of options over here and all of them break. ive seen similar priced bikes do alot worse. you can either fork out $1500 now for a really nice bike or slowly upgrade the parts on a crap one such as the mr lucky as you progress.
(on the other hand maybe not everyone needs ss cranks and hazards cos they break everything else) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
