Cons: Heavy, low spec build initially.
Recommendation: I had an '04 Shred (1st year) and rode it all over the place. Sold it when I got my '08 Dawg, but picked up an '05 Shred not long after. These are very versatile bikes, they actually climb and handle the rough singletrack extremely well. They give up a little bit of focus on pure dirt jumping, but that's OK in my book. A good frame to build with high spec parts over time, as this is one of the most fun hardtails I've ever ridden.
