stock 2005 Gt Ruckus 2.0 with Continental gravity tyres (no option for my bike)
Bottom Line:
not the most hardcore bike i've owned (scotty nitrous takes that crown) but gives that a run for it's money. hardnut spec with a misguided notion of practicality but don't be fooled, this nike is worse on the ups than the old scott however it's more fun as you are working harder rather than floating the terrain. As said before best as a custom build from the frame as it's got the potential. rockshox argyles, halo tornado's, holzfellas and x.9 could all be put on this frame without it letting the side down.

Copelands before it died
Strengths:
Awesome bike for dirt jumping and also kick your friends a'es on the trails. Holds up great jump after jump and small drops. People say the fork isn't all that great but I think it holds its own and I never have any problems. The stock rims are also solid, took a broken derailer like it was bulletproof
Weaknesses:
crappy stock cranks need replaced
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
upgraded to howitzer team bb and holzfellar cranks. Sram x-7 shifters and rear derail
Bottom Line:
The bike is solid for jumping and trails. I have owned it for two years with no complaints.
