Date Reviewed: April 20, 2002 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | weight, ride, value for money | | Weaknesses: | 1 piece cranks, seat pole(who cares) front axle (non oversized) | | Similar Products Used: | mosh bagley 4 star, specialized fatboy vegas trx | | Bike Setup: | I have the blue900, a few things have been changed, oddyssey pedals, 65psi tires skidmark, profile grips, flame seat, 3 piece Perv hollow cranks, Mgneil 6mm chainwheel 39 teeth, shimano freewheel 16 teeth.
a few others
I paid $760 for the bike and the 3 piece perv cranks (AU money) - it's about $350 US | | Bottom Line: | only has povvy 1 piece cranks, and a few other bag things about it, but once u spend a little extra it becomes a very good reliable bike, nice weight distribution
+the front axle isn't oversized though the back is oversized 14mm!! whats with that?
I recommend it
