Pros: excellent geometry, very durable
Cons: might be a little heavy for some applications
"This is a great frame. Its very solid, without being too heavy and the geometry is spot on.
I set mine up as a single speed (34t-21t) with halo freedom disc wheels and rampage tires. It is perfect for medium technical trails and its still pretty light and almost maintenance free.
Overall a great handling bike at a good price that will last a long time.
My frame even came with the BB and head tube ready faced.

"This is a great 29er frame, stiff, responsive and a lot of fun to ride. I built up with Velocity 29er wheelset, 8 inch disks and an XT group, it's sweet."
