Date Reviewed: June 23, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$2400.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Scene | | Strengths: | Even since first ride this frame & setup has inspired confidence, taken 10 minutes of my best time round the Black route at Llandegla. Ridden stuff on 7 Stanes routes i'd never have ridden before.
I'm not the best hill climber but this frame seems to climb better than my hardtail. feels very solid under foot.
| | Weaknesses: | I've not found any real weaknesses yet, although some of the cable routing does rub a little below bottom bracket but some carbon patches haves sorted that. | | Similar Products Used: | Recently Owned- Marin Mount Vision, Orange Patriot, Specialized Big Hit
Tested Prior to Buying: Turner 5 Spot, Santa Cruz Heckler / Blur , Rocky Mountain | | Bike Setup: | Rock Shox Pike 454 dual Air, Avid Juicy Carbon Brakes, Thompson SeatPost/ Stem, XTR drive chain, DT Swiss EX1750 Wheel, DT Swiss Rear Thru Axle | | Bottom Line: | Although the frame is a little on the expensive side, if your in the market for a cracking full suspension frame. I would definately recommend you get a demo ride, i benchmarked it against a Turner 5 Spot which i've ridden a lot and i prefer the Pace.
