I have one and I love it. I have never had a single problem with it. It is pretty bomb proof. You will not regret getting it.

I have one also. I changed the fork to a Dirt Jumper and its a good all around bike.I put on Maxxis Hollyrollers and a short stem for street riding and knobbies and a longer for trail riding. Its a pretty good bike for the money.
