 JONESY75's recommendation | |
nice riding position, solid frame
cheap and delicate components and the transmission is exceptionally weak. (What's with the plastic pedals? You'll want to lose those if you're unfortunate enough to own this bike)
Seriously... The Gary Fisher Tarpon bike is rubbish. If you plan on doing anything close to trail riding or are going to ride your bike often spend some more money and get a real mountain bike. I'm warning you DO NOT buy this bike. My ten year old CCM puts this bike to shame (in fact this is what I end up riding most often since the Gary Fisher is always broken). I have had it for one summer and have broken the bottom bracket 3x, the rear axel and quick releases 2x, and the crank. Since I have had so many problems they have decided their supposed 1 year warranty no longer applies. Seriously..... if you want to really ride STAY AWAY from this hunk of junk!
