instead of being lazy, how about you google it and post a pic or spec list, so everyone else doestn have to. and stop making unclear threads. you want our thoughts on it. what about it? its geo? spec list? strength? use? save everyone some trouble and stop making useless threads.

Sorry for being rude, but it isn't listed on DB site- however some online shop says heat treated full cromo frame. Cannot find the geo anywhere. Is it brand new, or pre 2008 (last catalog of mtbs on the DB site)?

Ok ditch the seat for something slimmer big is only useful on large cased jumps, and pay for by selling the front brake. Also try to get a bb7, makes adjusting the pads for wear easier. End of.

nooo hayes, go for a juicy 3 or 5.

yeah or a juicy i just think that the bb5 and bb7 and most mechanical/cable brakes need adjusting more often and just dont work as well as the hydraulic brakes

Any brake is fine, some may be more finicky but really just set it up and ride.
