$440.00 | | Purchased At: | mainstreet bikes | | Strengths: | the 2003 hoffman rhythm is a great bike. I have had no problems with it. although i have purchased over 500$ in upgrades, nothing has ever broken. | | Weaknesses: | the rear rim will bend if you slam it into curbs enough...as with any other bike. great bike. | | Similar Products Used: | 2003 haro backtrail X3, specialized vegas, lots of others, | | Bike Setup: | stock hoffman rhythm frame (tore off all stickers, they got dirty), stock forks, LAF front haro race rim, animal jump off stem (blue), S&M dive bars w/industry grips, no brakes whatsoever, oddessy 33 tooth sprocket, oddessey cassette rear rim, poverty seat post (about 1 cm long), shadow slim seat, stock cranks w/new bearings, primo tenderizor pedals, stock hoffman tires (invincible), all of the upgrades took the bike from 36 pounds to 27 pounds, its not LAF, but its pretty close | | Bottom Line: | the bike comes with a very nice setup, but after 2-3 years of riding you need change, nothing ever broke on it, just wanted a different feel every now and again
this bike is good for all riders, im an intermediate rider, (4-6 foot jumps, 6-20 foot gaps), and it has been worth all 440$ of it.)
im sure that the new models are very nice as well | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$219.00 | | Purchased At: | Dan's Comp | | Strengths: | Great bike for the money, has nice components (cranks, bars, forks). Good quality, hasn't failed on me yet. | | Weaknesses: | A bit on the heavy side (only becasue i am used to a lighter GT), diatech hombre brakes are junk, paint scratches off fairly easy. | | Similar Products Used: | none | | Bike Setup: | stock, no mods yet | | Bottom Line: | great bike for the money but with the money that you save, get some Evolvers as well as a new lever (either modulever or Tech 77). Good bike for beginning trail riders (like myself) but will probably last you very long. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
