"I use this bike practically every day through city and dirt trails. With roughly 100 miles on this bike, ive only had to replace the free wheel 1 time. I love the trail tuned seat, and the disc brakes. This bike makes stopping a 190 pound guy easy! No complaints with owning it for 6 months. "

"Just bought this bike 2-20-09 for [$], and after riding the TREK 4300 and several Gary Fishers, this one was the cheapest and felt the most confortable to ride. I would have to spend over $500 for anything else with disc brakes. "
