This frame will take everything I can throw at it and I don't think it will complain once in my lifetime. I want a second one only in the metallic grey!
Product Used For: 6 Months
Product Strengths:Attractive frame (Gets comments everywhere)
Clean welds (Looks like care was taken to put it together)
Solid 4 link rear suspension
Product Weaknesses:None that I can think of.
Expensive rear hanger that is hard to find (Jenson does have them but but you have to call them.

Bought the frame to replace my hardtail. Going full sus has made my mountain biking hobby 3 times more enjoyable. Sure, I miss the raw-ness of wrangling my rumble down some of the gnarlier trails in Marin, but 90% of the time I would much rather be riding this thing.
Product Used For: 1 Month
Product Strengths:-I'm faster up most uphills than I was on my Mountain Cycle Rumble hardtail.
-With Propedal and TST set right, you can stand up and crank without bouncing.
-The forgiving rear suspension makes me want to ride longer and more often.
-Slacker, more forgiving geometry than some of the reviews lead me to believe.
Product Weaknesses:-Heavy-ish
-Crappy Standover (I'm 6'3" so I do OK but anyone shorter might have issues)
My Bike:I ride it on everything. I would argue that this frame is just as versatile as the SC Nomad. I plan to throw a lyric on it eventually but for now my trusty 130mm AM-1 is doing just fine!
