My dad's bike, originally bought in the US. My dad lets me use it because he is cool, but really it is mine. It is not a new bike it is quite old. Funny Colours, Lock out back suspension, hope disk brakes and more.

I'll rate this bike for it's time. Unified rear triangle bikes were breifly flirted with by some compaines as it eliminated the problems associated with chain pull on regular full-sus bikes which gave feedback through the pedles, or reduced the effectiveness of higher pivot suspension systems where the tension in the chain would often stop the rear end from working. these bikes were produced in the mid 90's (around 96-97) at a time when Carbon fibre quality was actualy very good , it was the Thermoplastic carbon fibre that didn't last too well. I fact trek were producing some of the best carbon fibre frames in the world at the time using their OCLV technology. Unfortunately the URT suspension design ment that it wouldn't work well when you stood up on the pedals, as you were adding your wieght to the rear end.
All in all it's no doubt a good x-country bike that's comfortable to ride.

at first glance, it looks unattractive but once it sets in, you'll see the beauty of the bike. awesome, love the semi-retro look and the "FUNNY COLORS" like you've said.

Bar ends pointing to the stars looks weird annd that saddle looks a tad chunky. Lose the pedal clips and the rubber fork stanchion covers and it will look a whole let better. That said it doesn't deserve some of the low marks it's been getting and liking it to an Apollo was well harsh! The hope brakes have to be the best bit there.

Love it!! These bikes where the type that were around when I first got into MTB many moons ago. Excellent condition for age!
And for the comments about Argos bike etc being the same design... Its these types of bikes that broke the mold back in the day. From companies who dared to experiment. If it weren't for these designs, you wouldn't be riding the ypes of bikes you ride today!
Much respect! 10/10

Daguv know what hes on about here! its this type of bike the cheap agros/halfords bikes took the frame design from, this trek is NOTHING like a crappy y-frame from argos..

Cool retro classic. Used to love these but is it right that the rear suspension only has any effect when you're sitting down?
ashley_photog replied... on 13 January 2011
pretty much yes.

DoctorBobrick said on 25 September 2008
Again, a 10 to counteract the unconsidered ratings its been given, id give a 7 otherwise..
If it really is 10 years old as skinhead says then I think its a pretty damn good bike for its age

wow, now thats a blast from the past (about 10 year sold at a guess), never been a fan of unified rear triangle bikes though.
little ripper replied... on 5 June 2007
well said sort of
skinheadjc replied... on 4 June 2007
just trying to rate in comparison to other bike on here - old carbon frames arent good as its more likely it'll fail. As long as you ride it and enjoy it then who cares what i think.
MadMan replied... on 4 June 2007
*but is that not good ? (lol)
MadMan replied... on 4 June 2007
You could rated it abit higher its, not that bad and yes its a blast from the past but is not that good?
