Description:1999 Gary Fisher Pure Bender Spin, BMX





Submitted by JJ a Weekend Warrior from Dedham, MA, US
Date Reviewed: December 20, 2003
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $260.00
Purchased At:Dedham Bike
Strengths:Ive had the bike for almost 9 years its an earlier model Pure Bender Spin I believe one of the first Fisher made. It has a good strong frame along with other strong parts.
Weaknesses:The bike is very heavy compared to other BMX bikes. The Neck is very weak I sheared my bars off doing small jumps. Older style side pull brakes are weak with stopping power.
Bike Setup:Stock with aftermarket neck.
Bottom Line:Its a good entry level bike for bigger/ stronger riders who can handle the weight. Cost is also right in the pocket. Aside from the neck all the parts are tough and take quite a beating.

Favoriate Trail:anything a bike can go on
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $300.00
Strengths:strong frame, strong parts, great price, Cool color, gary fisher name.
Weaknesses:strong frame with cheap price means heavy bike.
Similar Products Used:varoius bmx bikes, Brooklyn Machine Works, kona, gt, other fishers.
Bike Setup:stock with the exception of alloy pedals
Bottom Line:This is a great bike at a great price. A little heavy for some kids but its truely a strong bike that will last a while and is definately worth every peny. A little on the small side for big guys but it's still managable. A good deal for the price and definately in contention with the more expensive bikes out there.

Favoriate Trail:Any where the cops dont run me off
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:strong frame cool color gary rules ...
Weaknesses:head set sucked, pedals sucked, seat sucked, cables sucked but they were the wrong ones any ways.
Similar Products Used:old school dk
Bike Setup:alloy pedals new oryg cables dia compe leavers
Bottom Line:look if you buy this bike spend the money on a new stem.
I had mine break last summer and cause me a trip to the doc's office with roadrash from my wrist to my under arm + a fractured hand. POS. otherwise the bike is really strong ...gary needs to spend a little more time with S&M Dk and Hoffman so he can swag some GOOD parts for the BMX line.

Favoriate Trail:none
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:it is an awesome bike!!! awesome color, and heavey duty frame. a car would run over it and not even hurt it. Look, this bike is great!! mine has some weaknesses wich i crued, but also cause i wanted to put money into it. you'd like it!!!
Weaknesses:pedals, switch to metal/steel, rather than plastic!!! Primo meat tenderizers!! seat, hey, you don't wana have any type of surgery that might hurt your marrige life!!!-get a better seat!! Stem, okay, but an s&m redneck would be awesome. the headset is junk, but whose to say it is not me. these are the weaknesses i had, but maybe it is because i need to tighten a few bolts, but the stuff listed in here are thing that make it the bomb!!
Similar Products Used:haro shredder, and some that i forget
Bottom Line:this bike is a great bike. it is a flashy yellow which is cool, and it has a nice design to it. you'd like it if you don't want to spend more than 300.00 dollars. I recommend it because alot of people don't have Gary Fishers in my area, that's why i bought it. It was either this bike, or a haro shredder,which i am glad i didn't get!!!
