Submitted by tom a Weekend Warrior from norfolk, england
Date Reviewed: January 20, 2001
Favorite Trail:street, ramp, flatlanding, dirt
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $204.00
Purchased At:england
Strengths:light weight, brakes, colours, short frame
Weaknesses:wheels, no giro, grips, only pegs on the back.....so far
Similar Products Used:i only have a 250cc sports bike to compare it to.
Bike Setup:new grips, odyssey twisted pedals, getting new forks, odyssey pegs, getting new wheels (eventually)
Bottom Line:i think it is sh*t hot bike (good........in other words!)
very crisp and easy to hop, jump, grind and do a little flat landing on.
easy to learn on and pick up new s**t.
new forks will be nice along with head set, for pegs on the front!
this bike is always getting complimented, and so far have had no problems yet. a good starter bike that will do with some mods (about £120 worth ($180)).
apart from the teething problems, get the b**ch!
