Date Reviewed: September 12, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$269.00 | | Purchased At: | compleat cyclist, cal city, ill | | Strengths: | All aluminum frame, sealed hubs and BB, premium components, 1 3/8 wheels, great geometry for a smaller BMX'er. Beefy welds throughout the frame | | Weaknesses: | The dropouts could be "boxed out" for strength, welds are kinda skimpy. 165mm cranks should be replaced by 175's, 177mm for more torque. We've replaced the 42-16, 165mm orig set-up, with a 43-16 177mm and my 9 year old was blazing out of the gate. Top tube just a little shy 19" | | Bike Setup: | Overall good setup throughout, good starter bike for any novice/intermediate BMX'er looking for a comforatble bike that's not too big like some expert bike set-ups. | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for the price. An experienced rider would opt for a Redline, GT/Powerlite, Crupi, These are great bikes but much higher priced and some are frame/fork only. Good luck if you could find a GT expert! We weren't sure if our son would stick with the sport of BMX, so far so good, and he still has a good bike to remain competitive, and i'm not out of 5,6,$700 bucks.
The RMJR is great bike part for part as compared to the popular brands. Also, it is fully loaded with nice components for about 30% less.
