Inexpensive, light weight, good gearing, good fit and finish. Huge bang for the buck especially if you find a deal like I did $320 during black friday!

Not many. The stock risers is crazy long but you change that anyway.

Ok, I had the Dolomite which I loved. Even more after I plastidipped the red wheels. Just wasn't riding it that much and didn't ever do the gear change. Enter this bike this thanksgiving. Man what a bike. The gearing has been perfect! The bike is as light as my SC heckler. I hate it on the road but love it on the dirt. Its a little bit of a harsh ride but I think thats the fact that its a rigid bike and I'm not used to that. I flat out dominate the snow and mud on this thing. Places my other bike wouldn't touch. Still not an everyday trail ride bike for me but fun every once in a while. Plus now I have an extra bike for my buddies without bikes to ride if we go out. Amazing bang for the buck her guys. This is a bike store quality bike! Nothing to high end component wise but gets the job done for me. I feel like I ripped off sports authority at the price I got her.
