$300.00 | | Purchased At: | ski market | | Strengths: | frame, bars, 14mm axles, pedals, spindle, cranks, bar ends, light weight pegs, chain tensor weight is decent | | Weaknesses: | seat and seatpost are wayyyy too heavy. stem is also heavy. stock sprocket is big and weak. stock chain is pretty bad. THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE CRANKS TO THE SPINDLE CAN LOOSEN ON BUMPY DIRT! stock stem slips a little bit. stock lever is weak and akward. stock grips are crappy. stock brakes don't stick to the stock black rim, especially when it's dusty. the freewheel in the back sticks really bad if it's not cleaned on a regular basis. giro cause nothing but problems.
front fork is heavyyyyyyyyyyy | | Bike Setup: | mosh short grips cut down haro slim bars (stock) but i cut them down about 1.15 inches on both sides dirt harry lever (unbreakable) oddessy long cable. (GET RID OF THE GIRO) mosh stem w/ titanium bolts primo 36T sprocket (it's heavy but very strong) wal-mart chain (their cheap and fairly strong) cut 5.5 inches off seat post and saved like 6 pounds. haha GT 2001 lightweight racing seat kenda tires: kutless and kovert
| | Bottom Line: | good for the money. if your not just riding to school or to a friends house and you accually ride bmx, you might want to replace some minor parts. i listen them above. >>if your concerned about weight, you need to either cut the seatpost or get a new one. the seat is heavy and is just for comfort. and the front forks are lead. haha their made for durability and with the 14mm dropouts the wheels is heavy too. the frame is very strong and not too heavy. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I put the crank on the right hand side. I changed the brake levers. I put some shadow conspiracy seat. I had this bike set up for freestyle with 4 pegs and the front brake set up. I recently took every thing off except the back peg because it takes too much time, devotion, balance and fustration. YEs it is nice to do flatlands but i find it much easier to just get on my bike and hit the streets or a local park. i think i will do a decade when i am 90 years old or something.lol | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line is if you are fresh to the bicycle game, get you a strong frame.This bike rocks at everything. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

And the frame with or without the stickers looks beautiful. | | Bottom Line: | If your serious about riding and you know your gonna stick to biking then buy the bike.

I thought I would end up putting a lot more from my old bike onto this one, but all the components are of a good quality and the bike feels really complete. Its a proper setup if ur starting out and/or are serious about riding, ive been takin it to the street/park on weekdays and to the trails on weekends. feels great both in the air and on transitions...im luvin it!

It only comes with cheap alex single wall rims. | | Bike Setup: | Completely new drivetrain because the last TWO have been broke.

The guy at the place I got it from said if I broke it, I would be in the hospital. I took his word for it and tried something stupid today. (I took it home lastnight!) Anyway, I built this jump that is about 20 inches high (I am used to 10 inches) out of a piece of 4' by 8' plywood and a few buckets. It held out, and so did the bike, but I didn't. I broke my own rule of NOT THINKING WHEN I AM AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP!! I thought about if I want to do this or not, while I was going about 15 mph and just about to launch. Of course this messed my whole jump up. Anyway, I launched myself, landed on a completely vertical 90 degree wheelie, and went over backwards. I looked the bike over and it was perfect, then I looked at my leg and that was a different story...I got it on tape, though!!! Anyway, like I said before, the bike rules, and it is the best value for anybody over 150 lbs. I especially like the huge axles and the 'tripple whatever' pedals. retailing for about $180 alone, and they come stock on the bike! I also like the rap tires that take 65 pounds of pressure each. Even though I have had this bike for 1 day, (I got it on 3-25-03) I can tell that this thing will last for a very long time!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

I'ts a great bike for those of you out there just getting into Bmx because of it's versatilaty. It's got quality parts that come with warranty (I don't think I need it though). Strong, I have been torturing it at the park and basketball court near my house and while some of the paint has been ravaged, everythng else has held up excellently. The only qualm I have with this bike is it's weight. I enjoy Flatland and it's hard to do tailwhips because of the junk in the trunk. If Flatland is your thing you should put out the extra scratch and get an M7 or build from scratch, but if your into dirt or park than this is your bike. For the money it's a steal. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
