    Good Points: Light frame, nice gear change, generally good looking bike.

    Bad Points: Brakes overcook very easily, pedals are too low to the ground.

    General comments: When I first bought this bike I was very pleased with it, but the real test was when I took it to Cwmcarn and gave it some stick, the result was hugely disappointing, the fundamental flaw with this is that the pedals are too low to the ground and consequently I kept catching my feet on rocks and roots, as if this wasn't enough on the way back down the mountain, the brakes, after minimal usage, [who uses brakes going up a mountain?] overcooked and completely spoilt my descent, this bike is seriously flawed in my opinion.

They are particularly good off road where they don't get covered in mud and water the way that rim brakes do. The forks are well set-up, with adjustments for preload and damping, and an easy t ...
