Loved it for 2 years then bought a Marathon
Rating:
The Good
Handling, speed, fit
The Bad
rear freewheel was very noisey until I serviced it then fine. Brakes had air problems - until I serviced them then fine
Overall Review:

Fantastic bike, every ride made me smile and every ride was faster than I thought I had in me. Great on knarley stuff and equally good on the road. The perfect bike (for me)

Just let my lad have it so I could buy a 2014 Marathon. 3 rides so far and its shaping up to be even better.. Although I don't like the black as much
