$140.00 | | Purchased At: | purchased second hand | | Strengths: | Strengths ? Well it's strong as an ox. Gearing is good,Parts are good. Not the highest quality components in the world,but quite good nonetheless.
| | Weaknesses: | A tad heavy for beginners maybe. Front rim could really stand to be a chrome plated one,as the front brakes are pretty crappy out of the box. | | Similar Products Used: | Hoffman Deebo, Hoffman George, GT Performer | | Bike Setup: | I run my bike just as i purchased it second hand. It was still brand new but for a few grazes on the paint.Took the left hand pegs off to shave off some weight,and i wouldn't have used them anyway.
Nothing really needs upgrading at this stage. Bike is solid. | | Bottom Line: | If you're skinny and lacking some strength,this bike COULD..be a tad heavy for you.Ditch the pegs if you want to remove some weight,they're fairly heavy.
The top tube length is good,bike is very roomy.
Bars feel great.
3 piece cranks have held up fine.Maybe go some softer frotn brake pads if you decide to keep the brakes on.
Just a good all round bike. If you can even get one for a bit cheaper than retail,as i did. Go for it. Wont disappoint.

$300.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike shop? | | Strengths: | This bike is exactly what it says and more! Comprising of all the old standard favourite bits - gyro, skidmark tyres, 3pce alloy cranks, etc., this bike will endure anything a beginer can throw at it - with reason! Welding is all good. | | Weaknesses: | Made in Taiwan and starting to look like HB are selling out to a cheaper market, yet charging the same price. A bit heavy perhaps. | | Similar Products Used: | Hoffman Sugar Baby, GT Dave Mirra Special. | | Bike Setup: | Factory minus the reflectors and bell. | | Bottom Line: | A great bike that is still only just well priced. Well built. Reccomend it to any one who wants to start out, but not ready for a serious mission.
