Klein Palomino XX vs Trek Fuel 100 vs Devinci Moonracer LE
My LBS carries the above. I race for my LBS, so really those are my
choices. I'm 36, competitive in my sport division (3rd overall in 03) and am upgrading to a full suspension cause everyone kicks my ass on the downhill part of the course. I'm a strong climber whose more roadie than mtb'er lately. Lets say that the fuel is the most expensive, then $400 less is the Devinici and another 350 down is the Klein. Price isn't that much of a factor but i want bang for the buck for sure. I'm looking for a solid race bike that is also FUN; and since i race all of 6-8 races /year..and its for stupid sport division...i have to keep in mind what riding is all about. Will the Maverick suspension be around in a year/2/4? is the trek fun all around or is it harsh? etc. I've never seen a review of the 04 klein or the devinci, but if anyone can offer suggestions or non abusive comments about any of this i'd appreciate it. cheers. -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.

Klein Palomino XX vs Trek Fuel 100 vs Devinci Moonracer LE
I had a Klein Adroit and the frame broke near the derailleurhanger.
For Warranty I could get a Palomino. But it was discepointing. I have size extra large and the sadle became so far from the steer that I was too horizontal on the bike. I changed it for a Attitude which is quite similar as the Adroit, but not as nice. I am sorry, I don't know anything about the Trek ! Good luck with your choice ! "Don" schreef in bericht om...
