I''ve had it for about 5 years and it has held up to jumps, being laid down on every surface, and so far nothing has broke. It''s been bashed what should have been, and was on every other bike i''ve owned, but it keeps on ticking.

Pros:
Frame is sturdy & strong, forks are smooth and rebound nicely (for now). Tires are awesome. Light weight, looks cool as hell (and we all know that's the most important part, right?)
Cons:
shifting is a bit noisy (what he say?).
Time Used:
Less Than A Month
Comments:
This bike was an extreme step up from what I was riding previously, great for beginners. Takes a beating and keeps on ticking. No Complaints, (even my friend, with his fancy full suspension $1,000 bikes likes mine more than his!)

Pros:
Frame is solid.
Cons:
Rear Derailur is very fragile and cheap, Walmart quality because it broke off after just a very light brush with a fence, I wasn't even going about a snail pace when I just barely brushed against it and whip, off it ripped. Cheap aluminum it is made out of.
Time Used:

More to follow as I ride this thing after I find out how good the LBS is about supporting it.

Pros:
Good, strong, nice looking frame and thats pretty much it.
Cons:
Weak peadals and crankset, the fork is not the most durable thing in the world and sand aand dirt get caught in it easily.
Time Used:
1 Year
Comments:
I beat the shit outta this thing ive been riding it for about 11 months and the crankset wore down, the pedals are pretty much broken and suck ass...... its really not meant to be ridden hard.... but for a novice rider looking to get better at the sport its an ok bike

Pros:
great frame,looks cool,very light, very tough
Cons:
shifts hard and a bit loud going into gear
Time Used:
6 Months
Comments:
I beat the crap out of this thing and it just won't quit. I bought it as a cheap way to get back into the sport because I had back surgery and didn't know if I could hack it anymore(which I can). I may eventually upgrade, but not for a while. I would recommend this bike to anyone looking to start biking!
