Review
Keep using your old XC or Freeride Hardtail, this bike is a waste of money.

The chainstays are 17.5" that's way too long for a trial bike (it should be between 15 and 16"). The BB seems not far from the axle yet they use a mod stem, which makes the bike feel weird, the bars are way too high.

Keep your old bike and save some money for a real trial bike, there is nothing you can't do on a regular bike that you can do on this.

Review
In general I have been very impressed with the amount of bang I got for the buck. Despite packaging issues and loose spoke tension I have been able to set up the bike well. Definitely a recommended bike for anyone trying trials for the first time. As a mechanic, I would definelty tell anyone buying this bike to have it thoroughly inspected and tuned before your first ride. After that upgrades can be made as needed.
I am riding the 26" size right now. I'm amazed at how much a few hours of playing around on the bike has made me a better trail rider!
