Submitted by Jon a Weekend Warrior from Austin TX
Date Reviewed: June 1, 2001
Duration Product Used:6 months
Purchased At:Buck's Bikes
Strengths:Same 7005 Aluminum frame as the Topangas and the Response D-back bikes, so this is a great starter bike.
Weaknesses:The fork bottoms easily under a 220lb person.
Similar Products Used:2000 Sorrento
Bike Setup:Stock seat and seatpost and handlebar, everthing else is upgraded. I run a Sram 9.0SL drivetrain and a SID.
Bottom Line:The perfect mountian bike for the beginner on a budget. This frame is a serious mountain bike frame that can be upgraded as the wallet permits. The entry level components seem pretty good for those just starting out. I rode the Sram 3.0 drivetrain around for a little while before throwing the 9.0SL's on, and they worked real well.
