i used to have the bike and it was okay. i spent $400 on an beginner bike but the sad thing is that bike could be alot better:
-haydraulic disc brakes
-kenda nevegal tires
or maxxis high rollers (2 best tires right now)
-marzocci,fox or sr suntour fork
if i were you, a person looking for a new bike, i would save my money and come up with $1000, and buy the norco bigfoot. a PERFECT bike and it has everything not to mention norco is the best bike manufacturer right now. go to this site and see a real bike:the bigfoot---
1)in blue(looks nicer)

Pros:
light, low cost, great gears, beats me how they can take a low end bike, and make it the nicest bike i have owned, and i always go with bike shop bikes, shifting easy is a big thing with me, and this is a great all around town bike.
Cons:
i think it makes a beter, all around town bike, than Mt trail bike, but thats just me, i will stay on the road where its safer.

Pros:
shifts great, ive never had an aluminum bike, i got the Boulevard-FS, and i can tell you lighter is faster, first time i took it for a spin, i said i think i beter get a helmet, it flew around the track. i like to do the big hills, and this has the quick gears to do it with, love it.
Cons:

I got this bike for one reason and thats to get a good workout, what i wanted was a comfort bike, but im making this into one, and i find its a better ride that a comfort bike, great bike in my book, and easy on my 50 year old bones.
