$1800.00 | | Purchased At: | Truly Spokin | | Strengths: | 3 Rides into owning this bike and the best thing I have spent money on in years. This thing is amazing, I will be doing this big girl for a long time. I already have one bianchi steed in my stable BASS and I have been riding the hell out of this thing for 2 years after my buddy and my brother both owned this bright orange hussie. But I will never look back to the smaller wheel. | | Weaknesses: | I havent found any yet | | Similar Products Used: | Bianchi Rita, Bass | | Bike Setup: | Juicy 7 hydrolic sram x9 like the way the the fork REBA helps suck up the roots | | Bottom Line: | Badass top to bottom, feel like I am on my own rails! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1800.00 | | Purchased At: | Pittsburgh Pro Bicycles | | Strengths: | High Tech, Great Grupo, Eats Dirt | | Weaknesses: | Limited frame sizes, saddle too stiff | | Similar Products Used: | Diamondback Ridge Runner | | Bike Setup: | Except for pedals, stock from showroom floor (added WTB Momentum Pedals: SRAM X7/X9 shifters, SRAM Stylo 3.3 Crankset, Avid JUICY 7 Discbrakes, WTB SpeedDisck Wheels | | Bottom Line: | I'm still in the "honeymoon phase", but this is one versatile bike that's a lot of fun to ride.
Not road race nimble, but very comfortable on paved roads, this bike excels once the pavement ends. Very wide spread gearing allows this to climb almost anything and still give you all the speed to need on flats. The hardtail design transfers power effectively to the rear wheel while the sprung front absorbs most of the impact.
The grupo performs flawlessly. Shifts are always clean, the crankset is bombproof and, despite my being a heavyweight, the wheels do not complain and I lock the brakes up at will. The last is a real testament to the stopping power of the
If you've been thinking of getting a "big wheel", Go For It with this one! Overkill for urban riding or exclusively Rails to Trails, excellent choice for mixed riding / weekend warrior and possibly a good training bike for serious competition. Outstanding price / performance ratio. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
