Advantages: Sound geometry, Quality components Disadvantages: Just much too heavy for it's own good
It is not a common sight to see a well respected mountain bike company cross to makeing high quality BMX bikes. But specialized ahve certainly come very close. For a mountain biker or a BMXer a specialised 415 comes very close to being up there with the best of the BMX bikes. But they fell down on one key aspect of the conversion from Mountain bikes to the very different BMX bikes. There managed to change the geometry, the accesories and even the brakes but there is one place that they messed up big time. It is just tooooooo heavy. They are too used to there heavy mountain bikes that in my eyes they have spoiled an otherwise floorless BMX. i eagerly await the 2002 edition as if the weight problem is tackled it will be a great all round bike!! ...

Advantages: Its quite interesting to write Disadvantages: Its quite personal
This is my first poem, please be gentle lol:
FATBOY
I’ve tried all those diets
Honest I have
I had pills and done sit-ups
Even puked in the lav
People point and they laugh
Even push me and prod
“Look at the size of that ugly fat slob”
My friends are the worst
They fill me with shame
They call me the Fatboy
Never my name
Its easy to judge
To look on and laugh
But try being the Fatboy
Its no walk in the park
So what if I’m fat
What’s it to you
I’m a human being
You are one too
Yet tease and taunt me
Like kids at the Zoo
They wear designer labels
I have one too
My label is Fatboy
Or Mr Fatboy to you.
Its easy to judge
To look on and laugh
But try being the Fatboy
Its no walk in the park
When will it end
Will I ever succeed
My feelings are hurt
Maybe its food ...
