Submitted by Mike Simmons a Recreational Rider from Chehalis, WA

Date Reviewed: August 19, 2000

Strengths:    I weigh over three hundred pounds, this bike seems to be able to handle the weight fine so far, and I like the schock absorbing seat post it helps smooth out the bumps.It also seems to pedal very smooth, and the gears shif easy.

Weaknesses:    The handlebars seem a bit flimsy, and the grips are not long enough, I find my hands somtime moving the shifters,because of the short grips.

Bottom Line:

I wanted a bike that I could ride in the hopes of losing weight and improving fitness , Something I could ride close to home and strong enough to support my weight. So far I have managed 187 miles on it and I have enjoyed the short rides of three to 5 miles and I can tell it is getting easier all the time. So I have been very pleased with the bike and it seems to have been a good choice for my needs, and I appericate the help that the folks at R&E cycles gave to me in selecting a bike.

Strengths:
Strong frame,
stem is cool.
comfy
suspension seatpost
cool handlebar
quiet tires.

Weaknesses:
Seat is uncomfortable (for me)
Rims have a visible joint connection

Bottom Line:

This is a cool bike. It's my mom's bike and I ride it sometimes. The stem is cool but annoying. the brakes work really well. the seat is not for me though. It's funny looking. I like the feel of the bike. The tires work acceptably on off road and excellent on the road. It's smooth. Definatly get a front suspension fork like a bomber Z5, Z4 or a RS Jett T2, or a manitou Spyder R w/soft elastomers.
