Price Paid:

Purchased At:
KassimatsBikes
Strengths:
Frame is very light and most of the components are also light.
Weaknesses:
First of all the fork. It's a RockShox Dart2 which is the most cheapest fork of them; it's heavy @ 2,5kg. Second it has Shimano Deore crankset/front derarieur/shifters which also are one of the cheapest categories.

Bike Setup:
Fork Rockshox Dart2, Brakes Hayes Stroker Ryde '08, Stem FSA-OS 190 Pro Carbon, Handlebar FSA K-Force XC Carbon, Rear Derarieur Shimano Deore XT Shadow '08, Front Derarieur Shimano Deore XT
Bottom Line:
For it's price it's a great bargain. You get a light bike frame (so you can upgrade later according your needs) with descent components except the front fork of course which is a Rockshox Dart2. For those 3 months I have it, it has a great feeling making it very easy to ride!
It's recommended for anyone who wants a great bike for a fresh start and don't have a pile o money to buy one.
