IT was a gift
Strengths:
Clean ride. Very light A1 frame.
Weaknesses:
Cheap components. The frame is the only thing of real value. Shocks work but have no lockout for street riding.
Similar Products Used:
Specialized Stumpjumper
Bike Setup:
Specialized A1 frame, Fat boy slicks, Surly SS hub w Godspeed tensioner. Still building it up to be an urban assault bike.
Bottom Line:
I know it was a gift but I'm gonna end up spending more on good parts that the bike itself is valued.
