i partied (and rode) with a couple of them over the weekend in pittsburgh (dirtrag punkbike enduro) and i can verify that they were really nice AND SURLY guys who seem to care way more about riding bikes than having fistfuls of cash!

after seeing them ride (dunno the dudes name but he was at least 6'7") i would believe the stuff will hold up to the abuse that just about any human can dish out.
