Strengths:Awesome looking frame

Good placement of center of gravity
Weaknesses:the screw holes for the chain device hard to find screws to fit!!

back disc brake mounts not the strongest (well i was using a mono6 with a 203mm disc)

Bottom Line:Absolutly awesome bike, a pleasure to ride!! dont go overboard on the braking like i did or the frame WILL snap, apart from that you can batter the thing and ride home with just a few scratches.

Submitted by Kieron Johnston a Weekend Warrior from Romford, Essex, England
Date Reviewed: October 20, 2006
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $1412.00
Purchased At:cycles uk
Strengths:good componantary, good looks, amazing seat and post.
Weaknesses:bad brakes, bad gearing, bad frame, bad wheelset and bad pedals
Similar Products Used:Orange MII with magura brakes and hope pro2 hubs with sas rims, norco sasquatch, all kona DJ bikes and a ns 24' s.s.
Bottom Line:i killed the frame, brakes, gears, wheels and pedals in less than 2 months i had to pay twice as much for it now to get it to where i want it to be. dont just not buy this bike, dont buy a factory bike at this price range, because you end up changing almost everything on it anyway. if your a small guy that dosent use hard braking go for it, otherwise dont even try.
