Strengths:
Cheap, Sturdy frame, great tires, nice looking bike overall

Similar Products Used:
Trek 4300
Bike Setup:
Stock, added cateye cyclometer and tail LEDs, two extra cages, and a halogen light I have had this bike for a while,(~2500m) I was not the best rider to start out, and i took quite a few good falls. I ended up replacing the rear derailur after a fall knocked it out of alignment and it was ripped off by the spokes, rear tire was replaced 2x and the front once.
Bottom Line:
A good entry level bike, but if you can save up an extra hundred bucks and pop for an alluminum frame, it will save a few pounds. Haro was a good support, i ripped off my frot brake shoes once-replacements were sent to the dealer in about a week. It is a b*tch to find parts for the MegaRange Derailur too...
