I found the bike and it said "Free" in spainsh on it, so I took it. It had no forks, so I put some Wal-Mart MTB forks on it that was laying in my backyard. You have no idea on how crappy this bike is... The handles shake from side to side and up and down because the fork does not match with the bars. The front tire shakes from side to side because.. umm I don't know why. I like to use this bike for wheelies for fun.

I'm sure that if you actually took the time to ride one of there products you would change your mind. Passing judgment on a name alone is stupid.

You're an idiot.


Callum, your bike is dialed! But you went wrong with the colored parts. All black with the toothpaste would have made it 110%.

Which reminds me, I need to take some pics of my bike. I recently got some white Primo tires and purple Odyssey Team grips for it, and I think it's either a love-it-or-hate-it bike. I definitely like the way it looks though.

Rear Shifter: Some Shimano garbage.
Rear Shock: Fox DHX 5.0.
Front Hoop: Mag 30.
Front Hub: Marzocchi.
Front Spokes: DT Swiss.
Front Brake: Juicy Seven.
Front Tyre: Syncros BHT 2.7.
Fork: 888 RC (hopefully with flat crowns eventually)
Stem: Funn Integrated.
Bars: Easton.
Headset: Funn Headbanger.
Pedals: Syncros Mentals.
Cranks: MRP.
Chain Guide: MRP.
Chain: Some Sram one.
Bottom Bracket: Hell if I know.

Should be nice when I'm done.

MTB's confuse me with all that derailleur(sp?) crap and suspensions and stuff. Plus I've never had one, or worked on one.

You don't need a 30 tooth sprocket because then it will completely throw your gearing out of whack. That's not a bike check. Get a picture of the actual bike instead of a picture off the internet.

It would be much appreciated if you spoke the language of the accepted here (English).

Nothing you say is much help to anyone if you can't read it.
