Date Reviewed: August 3, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$600.00 | | Strengths: | Nice aluminum frame | | Weaknesses: | The quadra fork it came with blows, and the gripshift and handlebars had to go, the wheels are "ok" but I wanted better. | | Similar Products Used: | Norco Java, GT RTS team, Marin Nails Trail, GT Timberline | | Bike Setup: | Diamondback SE frame, marzocchi fork, thudbuster seatpost, LX components, nukeproof/bontager wheelset, gripshift plasmas, riser bar (forget who makes it), XT v brakes, TNT Ti bottom bracket, Avid levers, and otehr stuff | | Bottom Line: | The bike in its OME state was ok for newbie riders. boughty wife and she didn't ride it much. It is a 1996 frame (acid orange color), and got it cheaper because the color wasn't selling. I recently cracked theeadtube on my Norco so I switched everything over to my wife's frame. The bike rocks now. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Polly Mountain | | Duration Product Used: |
3 months | | Strengths: |
It is a very strong mid weight bicycle with good enough compoments that it hits every gear and brakes on a dime.Its a great buy for the bills. | | Weaknesses: |
For a racer it could use some component upgrades and a better race ready shock is required. | | Similar Products Used: |
You name it i've tested it. | | Bike Setup: |
So far i've upgraded to spd pedals.I also put on a better seat and upgraded the crank. | | Bottom Line: | It is in my opinion the best bike for the bills for the young racers out there,or for those who like to go hard. | | Overall Rating: |
