i have an 03 rythem pl1 and im tellin u the only parts that i had to replace were the ones not made by hoffman........i still had to replace alot but u dont have to worry about that now cuz they're made better and set up pretty well and weigh a hell of alot lighter now....they have really strong parts n ive had hits n bails and enough wear on that frame and forks that would have bent or cracked anyother frame....so yeah they are a good bike i mean common what do u expect from matt hoffmans company?
