Purchased At:Merced Bikes
Strengths:Great frame and bullet proof rims

Similar Products Used:none
Bike Setup:SunTour 6200 Elastomer Shock
Bottom Line:Have ridden approx 450 "Trail Miles" per year and no let downs. 7 Flume Trail rides and 1/2 way around the the 70 mile rim trail. Took it to Moab, UT and did some real hard trails and only had flats (slime didn't hold) good shifters (Shimano Twist) Added Bar ends and two Water Bottle cages. Good for general duty. Suggest for weekend rides! Aluminum frame too.

Date Reviewed: April 17, 2002
Favorite Trail:Oleta River State Park
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $300.00
Purchased At:Big Wheel Cycle
Strengths:Awesome bike for the price. My very first mountain bike and it has done great by me. Selling it only because I am getting a hell of a deal on a Trek which made it cheaper than upgrading the Raleigh. Would recommend to anyone looking for an entry level bike.
Bottom Line:Buy it--you can't go wrong!
