Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$1375.00
Purchased At:
Olympia Cycle and Ski
Strengths:
It fits like a glove. I feel I have complete control. It's light as a feather, so I don't have too much to push around. I highly recommend it.
Weaknesses:
None.
Similar Products Used:
Trek 8000 WSD, Gary Fisher HooKooEKoo, Schwinn Moab.
Bike Setup:
Upgraded wheelset to Sun Ringle 432 Hubs with Mavic 517 rims and S-Works Team Control (front) Team Master (rear) tires. Changed the pedals to Shimano M-545 clipless, added Bontranger Bar Ends and put on a SRAM Power chain.
Bottom Line:
This is the best bike I have ever ridden. It's small (I got the XS version) and light. It handles like a dream and rides incredibly smoothly. Kudos to Gary Fisher for finally making a small high-end bike!! It has more stand-over clearance than the Trek or other brands of small WSD bikes.
This bike is for small women who want the best in hard tail performance. Even after 2 years, I don't want anything else.
