Favorite Trail:
Anything under trees
Duration Product Used:
More than 3 years
Purchased At:
Hokie Spokes
Strengths:
Good Solid Frame and sturdy components ... Nice chromoly frame. The cranks and the STX components are nice, and the araya rims are quite tough as well.
Weaknesses:
A little rusty and a little heavy. Also, I think that the Geometry; its basically too tight for your average off-road warrior. It is too hard to keep it where you want it when off-road. The headtube is at the wrong angle.
Similar Products Used:
Marin, Trek, Mongoose
Bottom Line:
I have had many fun times w/ the bicycle, but the bottom line is that the price I paid was too much for the components that I got, and Univega screwed up w/ the geometry of the mountainbike...
This bike may possibly be a good bike for a really
I would purchase something different if I had the cash.
