Advantages: genesis geometry, Good components
Disadvantages: rather heavy forks, Fairl expensive

This is an excellent bike either for upgrading or for the occasional off road rider. I mean the components are good but they will soon become worn and need changing, for example...the pedals. I had the bike 8 months and i had to change them for some DMR V8's, But i Had used the bike every day, so fairs fair. The best bit about this bike is the genesis geometry it means that at every point of riding (descending, climbing etc) the bike puts you in ...
...for climbing. And It actually works!! Wherever you point it, it will take you. I am only slightly dissapointed about the forks (manitou sixs) though theyre pretty heavy and they dont really do much for soaking up small bumps. But they can be internally changed from 80mm to 100mm pretty easily. Oh and it is a great looking bike black and silver. So all said if you want a starter bike that you can rely on a cracking frame an then go on to upgrade ... Read review

Advantages: nothing
Disadvantages: nothing

this review has to be 120 words long or more but i can only sum it u in one word CRAP. well there you go that is all i can think of at the mo but im going to include the details why, the first thing is the fact that its not even worth the amount that i paid ( not telling but i can get it half the price on ebay and other good online sources such as the brilliant yahoo shoping website) you can tell that this item was made just to make money and not ...

Advantages: nice weight to the rear of the bike allows for good climbing
Disadvantages: the bike is heavy overall

Recently Saab and Gary Fisher extended me a very unique invitation. On Saturday, May 20, 2000, they were holding an event called The Gary Fisher/Saab Test Drive. It was held at Green Mountain Park near Morrison, Colorado. Green Mountain Park is one of the Denver area’s nicer mountain bike trails. It is also located two miles north of Bandemere Speedway. I’m sure it was no accident that Gary Fisher and Saab picked this location for their test ...
...a registered owner of a Gary Fisher Big Sur mountain bike. I love my bike, and wrote a detailed review on it back on February 5th. I brought my bike with me to compare my Big Sur to the newer Gary Fisher models head-to-head. I did this for a few reasons. First and foremost, I wanted to remember exactly how my bike felt in case I fell in love that day with a 2000 model year bike. Second of all, I knew I would be writing a review for Epinions. To ...

Advantages: Lightweight, Durable, Value for Money
Disadvantages: No lock out on the forks, no disc brakes, poor quality chainset

...After coming across the Trek 4300 my mind was quickly made up, lovely lightweight frame that wouldn't be out of place on bikes twice the price. A reasonable set of Shimano Alvio shifters and forks with adjustable pre-load. Perfect for what I wanted, something I could commute to work on but also give a good thrashing around the local MTB routes. The bike is versatile, the adjustable pre-load works well and although the forks aren't fantastic, they'll ...
...off 6 foot drop offs. The only things really letting this bike down are the Suntour SR cranks. Mine were poorly fitted and the pedals had been cross threaded which meant that when I went to fit some SPD pedals it stripped the threads rendering the cranks useless. Que an upgade to a Shimano Deore chainset and the bike is now even better than it was. One thing to note is that if you're planning on getting into mountain biking, I would seriously consider ...
