    Submitted by KWAK a from North Van
    Date Reviewed: February 7, 2007
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $900.00
    Strengths:The frame is solid
    Weaknesses:a lot, I dont even know where to start.
    I paid $900 for it, and I swear I spent another at least $500 fixing. The rear deraillers broke 2 times in a year,
    I had to get new tires, the fork got really loose, the LBS couldn't fix it so I had to send it to the factory (got it fixed for free though) Now my cranks been coming loose so badly - it comes loose once in 10 minutes. I think the fork's coming loose again now.
    Similar Products Used:Giant STP2
    Bottom Line:I was at first happy with this solid bike,
    but it breaks down really easily if you are
    one of those people who fall a lot, and fall every
    time you go riding. I think there is something wrong
    with the angles of the frame.

    Submitted by ray a from london, ontario, canada
    Date Reviewed: January 19, 2007
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $500.00
    Strengths:-solid frame
    -good price
    Weaknesses:-the crank wabbles cuz the bb cup ring keeps come loss
    -small things, like cheap paddles, grip, bar, stem and everything you can think of, cheap no names, but they work fine.
    -THE FORK! Manitou is as bad as fork gets.. 2nd biggest complain i have(first is the wabbling crank..
    Similar Products Used:norco shore, kona hardtails
    Bottom Line:It's a good beginning bike, very good for the price, don't bother by norco sas or kona stuff for like 1200 CAD, cuz this bike is just as good for 1/3 of the price from second hand
