well I’m borrowing one from a friend right now, just like it : P he said he’s dropped it down a 30 foot cliff before, climbed down, and it was fine O:-) bearings are shot, and the pedals need some bearing work, but the frame and cranks lived : P
I’m not denying all its strength, just stem, seat, and seatpost. I should try and hook up with you next time I’m in the Atl area. My Dad lives up there and I’m always up for a riding buddy.
And my friends and I can be rough on stuff. I think they both took there DX’s off a ten foot drop (into sand or soft ground I think).
