Strengths:
I love the gears and the whole fram set up. The tires have a super grip that comes in handy in all types of terrain
Weaknesses:
Handle Bars are the weaknes they could of made them a bit shorter and the grip... not so crazy about it either..
Bottom Line:
Well the bottome line is. I love the Bike. My friend is a NYC bike messenger and reason why I got one. Eversince we've been riding all over the 5 boroughs putting in at least 80 miles per bike ride. The front shocks are great and makes the ride smooth. Although I would of like to see a bit more better breaks on this bike, but hey. Like others I believe that this was a great Bike for the bucks shelled out.

Purchased At:
Bikeways of Tucker
Strengths:
Price. Good Frame. Easily upgradable.
Weaknesses:
Stock Crank, Derailler, & hubs not meant for anything but smooth trails.
Similar Products Used:
None
Bike Setup:
Upgraded Crank set and rear derailler to LX
Bottom Line:
This is a good bike for the money if you're going to putt around on it. If you're getting into biking for the thrills, spend the extra money up front, or do like me: Buy the bike, then upgrade whatever breaks. (1 crank set & hub, 1 rear derailler, 1 chain, 3 rear axles) In all fairness, I'm 230 lbs and take 4 ft drops on this hardtail. I really need full suspension for my moby butt.

Also, the tires are so awesome!! The tires are great because all of the tread on them which has grip on the ground in even the slipperiest of places.
