    Submitted by John a Weekend Warrior from Houston, Tx, USA
    Date Reviewed: November 18, 2005
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $650.00
    Purchased At:Lancer Sports
    Strengths:Great Geometry
    Weaknesses:No Suspension
    Bike Setup:New Tires and rims
    Bottom Line:The bike has lasted me more then ten years now. I have probably put over 5000 miles on it, and have had very few problems. Only repair was due to a bad curb and too much speed. Other then that the bike has been amazing. This bike has seen everything from the mountains to beaches and everything inbetween. When I eventually run it into the ground there will probably be a morning period, but I do not see this happening for a long time.

    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Strengths:Cromo is the way to go. Whippy frame, and awesome geometry! This design is highly aggressive.
    Weaknesses:Comes stock as a rigid
    Similar Products Used:GT zaskar LE, GT karokoram
    Bike Setup:Custom wheels (Atak Hubs, Sun 0 degree rims, 14g), XTR brakes, Time ATAC, Kore Elite bar
    Bottom Line:This bike rocks, I've put over 2000 miles on this rig and she still begs for more, this bike climbs like a goat and eats up single track like a grizzly, I suggest taking one for a rip. I give it Five flaming Antz! Crank On!
