More than 3 years
Price Paid: $620
Strengths: Tuff Cro-mo frame takes it all and decent components
makes it fairly light(lighter than some newer and more expensive bikes).
Everything about it has held up just fine for the 6 years that I have owned
it. It have totally mistreated this bike and it is still an excellent ride.
Everything is original and it needs some love but it was worth every penny.
Weaknesses: After 6 years the only thing that has broken has
been a pedal. Disappointed there is no Aquila around for 2001 I need a new
one.
Similar Products Tried: Trek 850, Yamaha YZ and Honda CR
dirtbikes.
Bike Setup: All factory original.
Bottom Line: I have ridden the crap out of this bike and it
still looks great.It has some minor sctaches and rust but no sign of paint
peeling or anything like that. This bike has been my best friend and will be
with me for a long time. If I ever get a new one I still don't think I can
part with it. To me this bike is still worth $500.00 and love it or not you
have to know this bike kicks.

Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Strengths: Good, solid feeling bike. The tires are great, though
I turned them around for better climbing. Liked the handlebars and bar ends
that came with the bike until I wiped out HARD and bent them up.
Weaknesses: Front derailluer is a little hard to get used to and
the front shocks are too soft. I replaced the seat pretty quick also.
Similar Products Tried: Trek 820.
Bottom Line: I bought the bike at the end of '98 and got tired
of going over the handlebars pretty quickly. I put heftier springs in the
shocks, got a shorter, steeper bar stem, and got used to getting my butt off
the seat toward the rear which can be a little tuff with the original, too
stiff seat. Overall, I LOVE this bike, and though I fantasize about a full
suspension bike, I find it hard to imagine riding anything but my Aquila. If
I could find a woman to love the way I love this bike...I'd be set!
