Bottom Line:
If you can find a cheap one buy it! Recomended retail price in 2004 in the uk was around $1000 4 frame alone which would have been a rip off!!!! But this bike has took more crap than all my ex girlfriends and still comes back for more. It will do it all and laugh at you for not being half the man this bike is! It screams 2 me when I look at it "Take me out and abuse me! You no you want too!!"

custom built from multiple sources
Strengths:
very sturdy and versatile frame, have had basically no problems with it, and have put it through some abuse, also pretty cool looking
Weaknesses:
the wheel popped out of the dropout once because it was loose and because i wrecked it hard sideways on the rear wheel. I got a great deal on the frame used, not sure it's worth msrp.

Bike Setup:
marz dropoff 1, chris king ss kog, fsa pig dh, evolve dh bb & crank, azonic bars, stem, and wheels, avid bb7s
Bottom Line:
good for urban assault, good at the jumps, good for singletrack or all mountain. Whenever i go out i usually grab this bike. I think the retail price is a bit steep.
