Used Product For 3 Months Strengths Great handling. Bash guard and disc compatible. Tough and durable. Not too pricey. Weaknesses High front end. Slightly too long cross bar. Not the lightest trials frame around. Have to order bash plate seperatly. Similar Products Used Saracen x-ile frame Review I got my M.A.D frame a few months ago and I find it is a good strong frame ideal for trials. My friend got one and I now know several other people who own one. The mounting for the bash plate is a great feature, although I had to order one seperatly that took ages to arrive. This meant I wasnt willing to risk damaging the frame and so my riding progress slowed dramatically. For my personal liking, the frame is a bit too long and a bit too heavy. I would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a fairly cheap trials frame with strengh and compatibility.

Used Product For Tested Only Strengths Same frame as m-a-d team - strong gussets etc. Weaknesses wheels are a sort of let down Similar Products Used M-A-D TEAM 2003 Review Basically, this is the same bike as the team 2003, but with different parts. double chainrings at the front, v-brakes, and different wheels. i havent riding this bike hard, but it seems pretty much like the team 2003, but with downgraded parts. also, it doesn't not come with a bashguard.
