$450.00 | | Purchased At: | Bayview Cycle | | Strengths: | The cheap SYNC shocks are excellent for easing all sorts of bumps - even offroad! Shifting is excellent and well as braking speed. | | Weaknesses: | Heavy. But it is one of the lightest steel frames on the market. The shifting on this bike is ok, but forget serious offroading - the front derailluer jams and cant handle the demand. | | Similar Products Used: | '93 Kuwahara, '98 OFFROAD | | Bike Setup: | 00' Trek 820 SYNC shocks Bontrger RE-1 SPD Pedals Altus Rear Derailleur SIS Front Derailleur | | Bottom Line: | A great bike with excellent shocks for city and offroad use. However, if you plan to do some harder offroading trails with steep inclines, then you can forget using the front derailleur. Also, if your a bit more serious than a weekend rider, you're definately better off with a lighter bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

from Orinda Date Reviewed: January 19, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | China Camp | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Solid Frame, Good brakes, quality upgradable components, Sync Fork is plush, cheap | | Weaknesses: | Heavy!!!Not great feel when using components(shifting with the pods feels like you are physically pulling the chain off the cassette)21 speeds is too few. Painfull off road, especially tight fast singletrack. | | Similar Products Used: | Trek 820AL, Fisher Marlin | | Bike Setup: | Upgraded Bar to Coda Performance, Icon Sterling Stem, Fatty serfas saddle, alivio rear derealleur | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for smoothing the bumps around town. I live in a hilly area, so I would be happier if it was lighter, but what are you going to get for three hundred bucks. Light off road only! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

from Clinton, NJ Date Reviewed: August 6, 1999 | | Favorite Trail: | Any | | Duration Product Used: | less than 1 month | | Strengths: | It has a front suspension that other bikes in this price range do not. It rides smoothly and is pretty light. Looks cool. | | Weaknesses: | No bar extensions unless you add them. | | Similar Products Used: | None | | Bike Setup: | 00' Trek 820 SYNC front suspension Rapid-fire shifters 21 spd | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike. It's a big step up from my Huffy and is well worth the money. The colors (silver, red, black) look cool too. I looked at many bikes from the $200-$300 range and this one was by far the best for the money and it has a lifetime frame guarentee too! | Overall Rating: |
