Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:

Purchased At:
Trek of Columbus
Strengths:
I am a very new moutain biker, we do some single tracks and allot of paved rails and trails around columbus. This bike handles awesome in the woods and on the trails. I pull my daughter in a trailer and I never know shes back there. It shifts so smooth, I can beat allot of the guys going up hill!
Weaknesses:
My spokes shifted a little, but the shop took care of it asap. I cant think of anything I dont like about the bike other than the saddle. But I guess when you are sitting on a bike for 25 miles, your butt is going to hurt!
Similar Products Used:
I first tried the Trek 3700, exchanged it for the 4300 on day 2.
Bike Setup:
Stock, with a trek odometer, pedometer.
Bottom Line:
I LOVE THIS BIKE! I almost stroked when I saw the price tag, but I have no regrets. This bike is smooth to ride, handles great in rough terrain, and shifts great. This is my first moutain bike, so I dont go riding across trees or doing crazy jumps, but it will take me across the little bridges, and do little jumps. I dont know how it would hold up for the serious, disc brake using moutain biker chic, but if your looking for an entry level bike to maybe upgrade later, this is a great frame and great starter components.
