Date Reviewed: September 13, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Around here? I'm spoiled for choice!! | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Purchased At: | Pearce Cycles Ludlow | | Strengths: | Light, stiff, quick and responsive. It's British and it works!! | | Weaknesses: | Showing it's age a bit now.....you can't fit disks, but who needs to stop in the wet anyway?? | | Similar Products Used: | GT Zaskar LE, Orange Clockwork (or should that be Clockwork Orange??) Marin. | | Bike Setup: | Pace pro class fork, Hand built Hope/217 wheel set, Middleburn RS7 Chainset, XT Groupset, Easton Stem & Kore Seatpost and riser bars. | | Bottom Line: | I've had this bike since 1999 and haven't felt the need to change it yet! She still performs like the high end race bike she is and I've not found a hardtail yet that I'd swap her for. Mind you I'm getting older now and something a little more plush is getting more tempting, maybe an Orange 5 with disks??..........I'd still keep the old girl for when I felt the need for speed though. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
