I bought one of these bad boys thinking it was going to be a great bike. I don't like it so much anymore, and it's reduced my enjoyment of riding considerably. I know the model was discontinued, but I don't know why. Does anyone know?
They were a great buy for the money. Good beefy frame. However the Stances just don't cut it. I had a shitload of trouble with mine and then once I got it all warrantied I sold the bike for dirt cheap to my good friend who got it stolen a week later and in turn got $1500 in insurance. Now he just got an 06 Shore 3.
the stances are odd forks try puting a 24 in the rear instead of the 26 thats wut my bud did jumped nicer for him till he flaired his headtube in a nose case
yeah, it came with a 24 in the back, but the geometry still feels screwed, the fork doesn't help either. i'm moving all of my components onto a '04 brodie brat frame, so hopefully that fixes some of the problems.
