Pros: An excellent bike, especially for the beginner. Price in proportian to quality is great.
Cons: None, considering the price I've paid I don't complain!
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I am a relatively beginner, started mountainbiking a couple of months ago, together with some more experienced guys. Although I'm the beginner, with my bike I don't have to be ashamed of myself. Until now, I can cope with the other guys who are more experienced and do have better equipment.

Submitted by Wes Pomeroy - 2/24/2005 9:02:02 AM
Pros: Inexpensive but not cheap. Lightweight. Can take a beating & just keeps going.
Cons: None, cosidering the money paid
Time Used: More than 2 years
Comments: I rode this bike for three years, and seldom had a problem with it. I ride a couple of times a week, and have ridden over 2,000 miles on this bike. Replaced the front fork with a manitou, and replaced the rear rim when a branch got stuck in it & tore out six spokes. It's a good starter bike. Tires are more for pavement than serious off roading.

Submitted by kneecap - 4/16/2003 9:23:09 PM
Pros: indestructible
Cons: cheap components but come on, i only paid $300 for it! whadya want?
Time Used: More than 2 years
Comments: this bike was great for me. i upgraded to Deore derailleurs and shifters, and i put Crank Bros. Egg Beaters on it, and it is way too fun. I use it to get to school as well as actually riding, and its indestructible. i do things on this bike that most people wouldnt do on a full suspension bike, and i have had to replace the rims (Mavic 221 w/ Deore hubs) and now its even tougher than before. Works great for me! Now i'm ready for an '03 Giant VT2, not that i have the money. (Id still keep the rincon for gettin around town!)
