Strengths:
good frame if you choose the correct frame gears (alvio) chainset
Weaknesses:
the wheals were to easy to buckle brakes broke after 1 week so upgrade
Similar Products Used:

Bottom Line:
This a overall good bike but the frame scratches very easily which is annoying.The brakes are not very good and need upgrading.Loose the rigid fork and get some rockshox.You have to remeber this bike is cheap and good for money.This bike is good for bigginers or occasional riders but thats it.
