| Strengths: |
It is the lightest bike i have ever had. The steering is soo easy u barley have to turn your hands. Unbeliveable price. The only thing better is the sector xxxl and that is the very best racing bike but this one will do the same thing. |
| Weaknesses: |
the brakes kinda suck but they r easy to replace. Comes with stuff that just weighs it down but u can strip them right off. not much else

| Strengths: |
light 7005 aluminum frame for only $230 need I say more and a cane creek hed set decent rims and tires stem and fork. VERY DURABLE my friend cased a wooden ramp jump cliped in with a carbon fork and the bike was okay |
| Weaknesses: |
some of the parts are kind of crappy like pedals one piece crank and 14oz chainring but for only $230 you can just replace the crappy parts with good ones |

| Bike Setup: |
felt calibur pro fame, felt cromoly forks, felt stem, 5.5"rise fly power curve bars, cane creek head set, selle italia saddle, truvativ holzifeller cranks with gigapipe, sun ringle zuzu pedals, blackspire epic 42 and race face dh 44 chainrings, alex 303 rims that are crap and are being replaced with sun ringle cr-18 rims, and for tires a maxxis max daddy 1.75 in front and a ritchy rover 1.3 "BOLONGA SKIN" in back |
| Bottom Line: |
The 2004 calibur is a great bike for any one getting into the sport bmx. With a price of only $230 for a 7005 aluminum race bike you cant go wrong, the only other aluminum bmx bike that to the compares to the calibur pros price is the dk fury made of cheaper heavier 6061 aluminum. Even after replacing some of the heavy and cheap parts it will probibly be cheaper than other leading 7005 aluminum race bikes. The most cool thing of all is when our team, MEAN WHEELS bmx, shows up to the track with their all FELT line up we get a lot of attention. i give this bike 5 chilis for value because of its $230 price that leaves you enough money for sick parts and i give it 5 chilis for the crazy light 7005 frame and money left over for nice parts. |
