Just curious about them.. I know there are a department store type bike, but I'm wondering about there more pricey bikes.

I can get dope deals on any model, over half off. So I'm just wondering if it would be worth picking one up. Any input?

yeah thats what I had thought, I knew they were decent a few years back. But now I have no idea where they stand in the industry.

I had a really sick, ridiculously light XC frame from them a few years ago..but that was it. I've got a Commencal now..
I'm definitely going to go ahead and agree with everyone else in saying that previous years were way better.
