good in there day i spose but dont compare to today's DH weapons

[down_hiller_dude]

year i know but some prik stole my dh comp i got an awsome deal on this its new but it'll never compre to my old bike :(

[Jordy]

if you can't find anything better for the price get the sintesi... i've seen some fella's still riding them around so they have lasted a fair amount of time

at one time in about 98-99 i think that everyone in australia racing the national serise was riding one.but i haven't seen one round for the last couple.but i did see one at a race in qld last year.if it rides nice and isn't cracked go for it.but if it is cracked then theres prolly another crack somewear so i guess look for something else.

[Jordy]

i seriously doubt that man.... that was the year of the atx giants !

[frank-oi]

ok there were a few atx's around as well

[Daver]

they were a really nice ride... not to heavy, but they felt well plush. there was a noticable amount of flex n the swingarm, but the bike still tracked well. Compared to dh bikes of today they are really outclassed, but they ain't that bad, and would compete with say a 6" freeride bike. Just watch the marzocchi rear shock as they tended to blow and feel sticky when they were most needed...

[Daver]

everyone i know was riding a giant back then... even me...

[frank-oi]

ok in 97-98 then went the atx's handn't yet come out everyone was riding them
