$588.00 | | Purchased At: | Village Cycle Center | | Strengths: | I wanted an older model P.Street because of the good reviews so i called a local bike shop and they had a 2004 model still in the box surprisingly in 2007 so they built it up for me. Solid frame and fork. good components except for the pedals (Wellgo sucks) | | Weaknesses: | Front end weight fork, handlebar stem combo heavy, pedals are sh#t!! a few minutes into my ride out of the bike shop i did a few curb jumps and the pedals bent Wellgo brand. Im not a heavy guy and I've been riding since the 80's I took the bike back the next day. they replaced the pedals free of charge. they gave me a pair of SNAFU pedals, no problems since. | | Similar Products Used: | 2003-P.1, 2004-P.2, 2004-Giant STP,.. I own all three and they are great bikes also. I highly recommend them. | | Bike Setup: | Stock. but going to change handle bar to Easton EA70 monkey bars, Azonic shorty stem and Diatech Dirt harry brake levers. to shed some weight | | Bottom Line: | Good bike for the money, super solid, killer color combo.
smooth urban rider, great for dirt jumping!!
if you want the most bang for your buck. get the P.Street its indestructible, LOVE the bike you wont be disappointed. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$622.00 | | Purchased At: | JT Cycles | | Strengths: | Frame, Forks, Gyro | | Weaknesses: | Seatpole length, weight, brakes, weight, chainring clearance, weight | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized P.1 | | Bike Setup: | Stock, aside from longer seatpole and Shimano M550 SPDs | | Bottom Line: | This Is Not A Courier Bike. I bought it because it was on special for less than half price, under the assumption that I could ramp up the gearing. The 36t chainring barely clears the frame as it is, and to get a smaller cog on the back involves replacing the rear hub at great cost. The weight of the bike, although decried by many, is not all that noticeable when it is being ridden, and the bike itself rides like a wet dream. My only major problem is the stock rear rim keeps shredding tyres. In the two months that I've owned it, it's sliced the beading away from two tyres, so if you buy one, then make sure your bike store is willing to replace the rim under warranty if the need arises. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Its definetly a dirt jumper or a urban bike. The gyro makes it possible to do airal bar spins. believe it or not, its so sturdy that I took it down carlmont and hit a 6 pack. Its fun to go by skates and show them ur shi*. I recomend to get new forks becuse the dj streets are shi*. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$575.00 | | Purchased At: | Bike Line | | Strengths: | steel frame, strong forks, compact size | | Weaknesses: | heavy, brakes could be better, stock tires are no good for dirt | | Similar Products Used: | various bikes, but I wouldn't really call them similar | | Bike Setup: | stock, except more comfy seat and cheap dirt tires... I plan on adding a brake booster for the front to reduce flex | | Bottom Line: | I love this bike. It is strong and simple. It bridges the gap between BMX and mountain riding. I wish it could be more simple to convert it to multi speed, but singlespeed riding is going OK so far. The front brake design could be a little better. This bike isn't perfect and it definitely isn't for everyone, but it is as close as I could come to my ideal ride without spending well over $1000. I got a good deal by buying an '04 leftover! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$950.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria Bike Emporium | | Strengths: | Frame, forks, bars, cranks, pretty much the whole bike | | Weaknesses: | HEAVY, rims aren't the best, brakes aren't too good either | | Similar Products Used: | P.1, P.2 | | Bike Setup: | Stock except the grips and hookworms | | Bottom Line: | this is a great bike for street and dirt jumping but it is kinda heavy cause of forks but is also very strong. its definetly worth spending the extra $ instead of buyin a p.2 or somethin. the rims are pretty weak though and my back rim bent from overclearin a jump. the forks are heavy but are they are worth havin the weight because they are so strong. ive cased quite a few pretty big jumps and they arent messed up at all yet. bottom line is if your lookin for a good bike and are willin to pay some money u dhould definetly think of buyin this | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$982.00 | | Purchased At: | united cycle, edmonton | | Strengths: | the entire bike is good. pedals, cranks, tires, forks, seat, frame, rotor, hubs, pegs, bars, stem, brakes/levere, sprocket i hear the rims are week but they have a grain to them for better braking. | | Weaknesses: | ive heard that the rims are week. i havnt found this yet. | | Similar Products Used: | none really | | Bike Setup: | stock | | Bottom Line: | this bike is great if you crossed over from BMX to a mountain bike and want the brest of both worlds. for me, this is one of the reasons i went with it. it isnt a starter bike because of the price. i paid about 1200 canadian. i would prefer a right hand drive but its all personal preferance. not to mention its only a $30.00 fix. the bottom line is if you want a bmx meets mtb, this is great if your price range is kind og high. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
