Used Product For 6 Months Strengths colour,nice for riding to places Weaknesses bb height, tire clearance. Similar Products Used m-a-d Review as this is a jump frame the bb height suffees got this as a full bike, brakes good, free hubs go after about 4 months, decent forks snapped doing front hops, nice frame size is practical for every day use, and dont let the coulours fool you into buying the bike hence thats what i did the tire clearance struggled to accommodate a 2.3.

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Build Quality, Welding, Components, Riding position.Lifetime companion if kept in good nick Weaknesses Frame length, bad for manuals if used by beginner, Rear deralleur crunches. Similar Products Used Marin Palisades Trail, Orange X2, Saracen Terratrax (Customised) Review This is one of the sturdiest bikes I have owned in a long time, the strength of the frame and build quality is matched only in bikes way up in the higher price range and is superb for beginners and experienced riders alike, I defy anyone who says they have snapped the frame...They must not have a clue how to land a bike or they have dropped the bike out of an aeroplane! I used the shooter until i got tired of the components, kept the frame and built it up from scratch with top line forks, brakes, chainsets and bottom bracket spending just over 1200 pounds. The frame settled nicely with everything on it and i haven't looked back. If you are looking for a bombproof bike for a beginner or you want a good custom bike and peace of mind in the sense of frame living up to pro parts then look no further. A third of the price of my first bike, twice the strength and 10/10 for freestyle!

Used Product For 1 Month Weaknesses chain stay Similar Products Used none Review well to start off the bike is a piece of junk, it seems to snap at the chain stay all the time as I have read other reviews on it. All I have to say is that I had one for 2 weeks and it snapped on me.
