I have had it for about 2 years and used it for one season of NICA racing. Keep up with maintenance and very few scratches. Has brand new chain and semi new brakes, Raceface pedals(flats), and new grips. Amazing for beginners/intermediate mountain bikers and cross country riders. The hard tail design makes it easy and comfortable uphill. And the xct sr Suntour shocks make it nice and smooth for downhill. Fincci mandri tires come with a decent bit of tread left only road on them for less than 200 miles.
