More Info:
This bike is a heavy one but still fun to ride. I set it up so that it has the basic measurements of my Vision Orion road bike set-up. I am now using this bike to commute to work. I get the same average speed as on the Vision Orion road bike. The bike feels a lot like the road bike a well. This has become my car for now. I have pulled the car off the road for the summer months. Enjoying being out on the bike much better!
I replaced the off-road tires with a set of 26 by 1.9" tires. They are far more suited to street riding. A set of fenders has been added as well sence the bike is being used in all weather conditions.

It still is running good. I have not used it too much after I bought it but I am getting it out this year more. The rear suspension is not what I thought it would be but getting it a bit tighter helps out when using it on the road. I can not say it is the greatest bike ever but given the budgets I have to get things like bikes, it works OK! I look forward to doing a bit of trail riding before the cold weather comes.

How do you like the supercycle fenders on the mountain bikes? Does the rear fender still splash mud on you?
