$350.00 | | Purchased At: | Fast Bicycle | | Strengths: | Rides good and is a lot of fun to ride. Much more fun to jump than my mt bike and easier too. I would buy this bike again if it got stolen today. I also changed the lever with one I had from my old mt bike. Pedals, grips,and lever are just personal preferences | | Weaknesses: | I don't like the grips. They hurt my gloveless hands and are already wearing down after 1 month of use. The pedals i changed with some $20 ones I had already.
The bottom bracket is not sealed and one of the ball bearings came out of the cage and got into the frame and made a lhell of al ot of noise. When I took apart the bottom bracket I found out there were two ball bearings missing. I recovered one from the frame and I don't know where the other one is. | | Similar Products Used: | Tested free agent limo, specialized hemi, robinson. all these were around 500-600. | | Bottom Line: | Good bike for jumping and messing around on. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$350.00 | | Strengths: | Frame, Wheels, geometry, just the right stiffness, bars are ok, chainwheel, seat(its fairly comfortable and looks good, stem is great | | Weaknesses: | 1 piece cranks! no chain tensioners, seat post, crappy platform pedals, grips suck, brakes suck | | Similar Products Used: | Diamond Back, Dyno, GT, Gary Fisher, Specialized | | Bike Setup: | Profile cranks, profile 45t chainwheel, crupi chain tensionors, s&m c-4 low bars, crupi pro cage pedals, bombshell fork, jive grips, shimano xtr v-brakes, maxxis max daddy tires | | Bottom Line: | This bike is great for the average weekend warrior, but if you are anything more than that, upgrade the cranks and pedals at least. I am 6'4 220 pounds and i have never bent or broken anything, thats why i choose a chromoly frame over aluminum, with proper upgrades and gearing this bike kicks ass | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$285.00 | | Purchased At: | Millers Bikes, Norman, OK | | Strengths: | Overall good quality parts. Is an excellent match with the Pro Series 20". CNC'ed seal bearing hubs although they skimped on the single wall rims. | | Weaknesses: | Cranks are terrible for racing, get rid of them asap. The rims hold up to my weight fine, till that big case! | | Similar Products Used: | Own the 1999 GT Pro Series 20" | | Bike Setup: | Steamline for racing, no extras | | Bottom Line: | If you cr-mo frames then its a excellent buy. Although it will cost you more than I paid for it! | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
