Advantages: Nimble, durable, versatile
Disadvantages: Gearing too low for speed on downhills

I purchased a Gary Fisher Nirvana as a deeply discounted "clearance" item in the late 1990s, and have used it for short commuting and longer weekend rides ever since. The cro-moly frame and fork have worked smoothly and held up well, the wheels have taken a pounding without distorting, and the gears are still functioning without flaw. The small frame accepted fenders, luggage rack, and other unstylish but useful add-ons. This hybrid bike has been ...
...and off road use. Gary Fisher sold his company to Trek in the early 1990s, and I suspect that some of the models have been "decontented" by Trek as Fisher's personal involvement in the product faded. A bike enthusiast that I know told me that this was a carry over of one of the last genuine Gary Fisher products. I have not ridden later versions of this model. That may be the source of the intense dissatisfaction of the reviewer who found the Nirvana ... Read review

Advantages: genesis geometry, Good components
Disadvantages: rather heavy forks, Fairl expensive

This is an excellent bike either for upgrading or for the occasional off road rider. I mean the components are good but they will soon become worn and need changing, for example...the pedals. I had the bike 8 months and i had to change them for some DMR V8's, But i Had used the bike every day, so fairs fair. The best bit about this bike is the genesis geometry it means that at every point of riding (descending, climbing etc) the bike puts you in ...
...for climbing. And It actually works!! Wherever you point it, it will take you. I am only slightly dissapointed about the forks (manitou sixs) though theyre pretty heavy and they dont really do much for soaking up small bumps. But they can be internally changed from 80mm to 100mm pretty easily. Oh and it is a great looking bike black and silver. So all said if you want a starter bike that you can rely on a cracking frame an then go on to upgrade ... Read review

Advantages: nice weight to the rear of the bike allows for good climbing
Disadvantages: the bike is heavy overall

Recently Saab and Gary Fisher extended me a very unique invitation. On Saturday, May 20, 2000, they were holding an event called <I>The Gary Fisher/Saab Test Drive</I>. It was held at Green Mountain Park near Morrison, Colorado. Green Mountain Park is one of the Denver area’s nicer mountain bike trails. It is also located two miles north of Bandemere Speedway. I’m sure it was no accident that Gary Fisher and Saab picked this location for their test ...
...a registered owner of a Gary Fisher Big Sur mountain bike. I love my bike, and wrote a detailed review on it back on February 5th. I brought my bike with me to compare my Big Sur to the newer Gary Fisher models head-to-head. I did this for a few reasons. First and foremost, I wanted to remember exactly how my bike felt in case I fell in love that day with a 2000 model year bike. Second of all, I knew I would be writing a review for Epinions. To ...

Advantages: Robust build and a superb frame
Disadvantages: Average forks brakes and cranks. Also not the lightest

...the ride more than makes up for all of that. Kona have managed to make the handling agile and yet stable with good stand over clearance. Add to that good Canadian build quality with components that are built to last and good mud clearance and you cannot go wrong. ... Read review

Advantages: Solid Frame, Excellent Gears, Durable, Value for money
Disadvantages: Small pedals and seat, V form brakes (not endurable)

Scott Boulders is an MTB (stands for Mountain Bike) from Scott, limited, the leading resource of the best MTB in the world. Even if the Scott boulders is a 1999's production, it's very notable for the solid metallic frame and life longevity. The Boulder comes in two different bend of colors; a burst of dark grey, blue, silver, white and a little bit of red, and the second where the blue is replaced with silver for a sleeker chrome look. The triangular ...
...The handlebars are the Scott Strike Comp 1 P.G low-rise 600mm; Solid. The set width makes handling easy. The frame is the Scott Bi-Axial Alloy 7005 Liteflite D.B. Scott Disc D/out. One thing, I like about it is that the frame allows to ride more comfortably and efficiently, with more power, and less effort! the bigger, the better. But don't worry, the Boulder's frame works just fine! Boulder is equipped with 27 speed. There are 3 cogs at the front ... Read review
