'Pure biking heaven'

Strengths:
It's strong, cheap, very well made and looks great. 24" or 26" wheels without disk brakes. Small wheel base so you can chuck it around the trails or over the jumps.

Weaknesses:
Top coat of clear varnish can crack but the colour is still there.

Overall:
If you want a strong and cheap jump frame stop looking, because you've just found it.

'sweet as a heavy nut'

Strengths:
super strong, 24/26" wheels, comes with BMX BB and Horizontal dropouts (I run mine single speed) also a big range of colours. The position is great a small wheelbase for chuck-ability and accelerates like a whippet.

Weaknesses:
quite heavy but that could also mean strong, the finish chips quite easily.

Overall:
What a bargain, go and get yerself one, Smith and Hooke rule on one (admittedly sparkly gold) so you can too!

'NICE'

Strengths:
strong
not too heavy
aps
looks good

Weaknesses:
paint finish is not too durable
not mega expensive
only one size

Overall:
the aps system means you can remove the bosses, helpfull if you run discs.
Looks good to. the clear coat is very easy to chip scratch but the colour is ok. I had to repaint the top tube because it was so bad, don't remove the stickers

'I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE!'

Strengths:
Everything.

Weaknesses:
Nothing.

Overall:
I have just bought it, only used it once. But I was busting tricks on it in no time, no footers, one footed x ups etc. It just felt right! Super quick, stiff rear end accelerates like a whippet with its nuts caught in the cookie jar!
