Date Reviewed: September 21, 2007
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $219.00
Purchased At:Performance Bicycles
Strengths:Light weight
Weaknesses:Tires, brakes, rims, Oryg, cranks, bottom bracket
Bike Setup:GT Zone frame, Odyssey 30T chainwheel, brakeless, Odyssey rims, KHE geisha front and rear hub with 9T driver, KHE cranks, Odyssey forks, KHE tires
Bottom Line:The tires only hold 65psi, making it hard to really flatland,... blew them up in about 2 weeks of having them over inflated to 100psi, the brakes just sucked, they couldn't hold the wheel im place so I removed them, the rims were cheap and got bent up within a week of use. The Oryg seemed to get caught up when I was working on whiplashes, and anything with a bar spin involved. The cranks always came loose after 2+ hours of hard riding, and the bottom bracket seemed to make a crunching noise while I was riding. The bike is a "freestyle" bike but doesn't come with freecoaster hubs, so "freestyling" kind of sucks unless you like pedaling backwards. In general, the bike setup needs a lot of work, but the frame and bars are nice and solid.
