suggestions on something you like? Mine 930 is for sale $500/bo. Overall Rating: 4

Date: December 1, 1997 Kashmir a weekend warrior from CT writes: the 930 was my first bike and i must say it was indestructable. I hit anything and everything and it just kept on going. The performance was laging, however. I swear I could feel that bike just soak up all that energy while riding up hills (way to much flex), sometimes it felt like I was riding rubber. I had that bike for 4 years until I felt my skills were more than my bike could handle. So all in all, if you are new to the MTB world and want a bike that will let you make all those spills which I'm sure you'll due, get this bike. Its a great trainer. Overall Rating: 5

Replaced AMP fork with Judy SL and it rides much better. In a word I'd call this bike 'fragile'. Overall Rating: 3

Date: April 11, 1997 CRAIG BELLE a racer from R.S.M. CA. 92688 writes: I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY AMP-B3 & FORK. I OWNED THE BIKE FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I CRACKED THE FRAME 4 TIMES & HAD THE FORKS REBUILT EVERY MONTH. AFTER 1 YEAR THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANTY WAS UP. THAT WAS THE WORST BIKE I EVER OWNED. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND AN AMP TO ANYONE. Overall Rating: 1
