Date Reviewed: October 11, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | FRIM | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Bottom Line: | There must be a defect on the frame. Discovered a crack directly above the top tube and head tube joint. What puzzles me is because I don't do any jumps or drops. I hope its dealer will give me a replacement. At the mean time I'm using a Specialize Hardrock A1 frame. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
