$375.00 | | Purchased At: | Private seller | | Strengths: | Super light - w/ the right components this thing can weight close to 25lbs. I like the angle of the top tube, well my manhood and future children do. It's fun to be different - you'll get people asking about the bike. It's held up just fine for the 3 years I've used it and I'm over 200lbs all geared up. | | Weaknesses: | I think the 0.5" of 'suspension' in the rear is kind of a gimmick, but maybe someone else can tell. | | Similar Products Used: | Demo'd a Trek Fuel 9.5, rode a ~$1000 giant dual suspension once, and I own a 12 year old Giant Yukon front suspension that's been great to me. | | Bike Setup: | XTR v-brakes and front derailer, LX rear, XT cranks, aheadset, Go Fast bar, serfas barb-wire grips, WTB xxt scz saddle (it sucks!), Easton stem, Manitou ss-e fork and planet X steering tube thing. | | Bottom Line: | If you want a climber and find one of these for <$500 I'd say go for it. It's been really good to me, and I think I'll have to keep it as a life-long bike (at least the frame). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 10, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Vedder Mountain | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | Great ride with enough travel to take the edge off. I have tried suspension frames that broke, and have had a hard time replacing the "Steel Feel" ride that I used to have. This bike is the best of both the Steel and Aluminum worlds. Stiff as hell, but resiliant enough to keep you from being pounded to death. | | Weaknesses: | Not Canadian Built!!!! The price of the frame only is quite scary...You have to be a fan of the bike to pay the price. The styling is a love it ...hate it variety. | | Similar Products Used: | GT LTS 1000

Rocky Ti Bolt
Rocky Hammer
Cove Hummer | | Bike Setup: | X-vert with Hayes disk. XT mix with Race Face post, Roox stem, and Pro-taper bar with Mavic rims. | | Bottom Line: | Buy it, ride it , love it!!!! Most versatile bike I've tried. Being 260 lbs beats stuff up, and I have had no problems with this bike. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

White Ranch | | Duration Product Used: |
1 Year | | Strengths: |
Monocoque frame-looks different.
.5 in of rear travel, just enough to take the edge off and still remain stiff. Lots of stand over height, very quick and easy to maneuver | | Weaknesses: |
The frame is not a stiff as I would like, it seems to move a bit | | Similar Products Used: |
Gary Fisher supercaliber | | Bike Setup: |
White Bros Sc 70, XTR shifters/brakes, Racce Face cranks, BB, steam, post, HS, Chain rings, Ringle/Sun Wheel set | | Bottom Line: | great frame. Complient, sprints well, can be ridden aggressively all day and you feel as though you did not waste any energy. The frame looks cools and turns heads all day as well! | | Overall Rating: |
