$200.00 | | Purchased At: | second hand | | Strengths: | The frame is light as hell, strong too. It is cheap but is still made from reynolds 7005 Al and has disc mounts. I only bought the frame though. | | Weaknesses: | The decals look cheap and aren't lined up properly. No performance problems. | | Similar Products Used: | Various Giants; Boulder SE, XtC NRS 2 | | Bike Setup: | Customised. LX front and rear mechs, Deore shifters brake levers, crank and v-brakes, azonic, titec and selle italia bits and pieces, cane creek headset maxxis high-rollers, alex dm-18 on formula disc hubs, 2001 rockshox Judy C. | | Bottom Line: | The only original thing on my bike is the frame itself. It is good and I'm overly happy with it. If you just want a bike to bum around off road on this is a good one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$714.00 | | Purchased At: | Petries Cycle and Sports | | Strengths: | The frame isw a 21" and is very solid. The backm tire is great if you are under 220 lbs. | | Weaknesses: | For me im between 230 and 250 lbs so i got the guy at petries to build me a back rim so i can still give it a bit of a beating. The Judy TT Rock Shox are ok but dont expect them not to bottom out if you hit hard. The pedals. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Wahoo | | Bike Setup: | Grip Shifters, Judy TT, etc. | | Bottom Line: | Overall it is a great bike if you want to put say $400 more when buying it to get a couple upgrades like the pedals, rear rim, shocks. Put it this way over everything else you get more than what you pay for in this bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$480.00 | | Purchased At: | Cheeky Moankey, Sydney | | Strengths: | Good, solid frame.
Red color is great.
Gears & brakes are very good.
I find it quite light for a MTB. | | Weaknesses: | Front forks (Judy TT) seem a bit soft.
Hand grips are too hard. | | Similar Products Used: | None. | | Bike Setup: | Shimano SPD pedals. | | Bottom Line: | This is a fantastic bike.
If I was to take up XC-MTB racing I would definitely use it.
THe comments about the forks and hand grips are only minor.
Highly recommended ! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

(very minor) | | Bottom Line: | This bike is great for the money, beefy enough to handle 4-5 foot drops. Front forks not the greatest but very good for the money. This is an all-around great bike for the beginner-intermediate freeride and can handle trails. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
