Strengths:    Frame warrenty, treks back up and interest.They make some half decent gear i feel.

Weaknesses:    Hanger is like chocolate and does not work well with a 27tooth.It bends with major vibration.Rear stays have too much clearance(how much mud can you carry on your bike before the brakes stop working?)The width of the rear stays causes it to catch my legs when riding over the back of the saddle, its just annoying.Strange frame line took some working out to get Q factor right, back wheel does not run straight when in right place???
The gear shift has never been good because of the hanger and that its quite short, currently been fixed by making my own ti one.Did anyone really ride the stock set up in competition on the team as i cant think the hanger would have made it more than the first few kms???


Bottom Line:   
Very ridgid, seems strong.Not too heavy and pretty neutral at any speed.
Quite short, but i like it that way.
