    Strengths:Strong bike. I weigh 200 lbs, and I ride street, and still haven't broke anything, but my elbow.
    Weaknesses:Cheap pedals, noisy crank that needs to be tightened daily. 990 brakes suck. Can anyone make a 990 that actually stops??!!!
    Bottom Line:Good bike for the price. Cheaper, but strong, frame lets Specialized toss on some better parts. I'd switch out the grips, pedals asap... Maybe even the brakes...
