Comments:
the bike is a great all around bike that is very light and a joy to ride. its only flaw is that it is very light so the front end comes up when you are pedaling hard up hills.

Comments:
Great bike for off road riding, disc brakes are a must on fast downhills, full suspension definitely worth investigating if you don't already have it.

Pros:
Efficent climber, quick handling
Cons:
Too lite steering on climbs, Thin easily dented frame tubes, wheel set on 2001 bike heavy and flexible(hit frame when climbing in low gear,I'm 150 lb). I replaced the wheel when the bearings failed, sheding the UST tires in the process,they are a pain to patch and super expensive to replace when the side walls get sliced. MY wife has the same bike and wanted lower gears, that neccessitated new crankes as a 20 tooth chainwheel will not fit on the stock crank.
Time Used:
1 Year
Comments:
If I had to do it over again, I would either build the bike myself or get a Specialized FSR, since I don't really care about having disk brakes either.
