Mongoose: The 97' model Mongoose bikes were no good for value or quality. No U-Brakes
                  on any models except the DMC, which i think was the only good 97' model that Mong-
                  oose came out with. The Rogue was kewl too but no U-Brakes. The 98' Mongoose's,
                  I think anyway, are the best value for money with the Villain only $389 (Australian) and
                  it come with U-Brakes. The Sniper is all right for a price of $289, good for a beginner
                  just starting out on the ramps or just for riding around. The new Rogue and Hooligan
                  are also very good coming with Cromo frames and U-Brakes. The DMC Pro is a big
                  improvement over the 97' DMC coming with 3-Piece Profile cranks, which I have not
                  seen another bike come with these standard, so it's pretty kewl.

Hoffman: Well, what can i say??? Nothing much other than these are simply the best bikes around
               weather it be ramp with the Condor, dirt jumping with the Taj or flatland with the EP. The
               Condor comes stock with Love handles which would have to be the best bars around,
               well they look kewl anyway, and the Condor frames kicks butt. The EP would have
               to be the best flatland bike I have seen and it's the same with the Taj and dirt jumping.
               Hoffman also make some kewl parts such as Superforks, GACK wheels and over-sized
               Love handles. The Sugarbaby is a nice bike for $650 and it's the same with the George.

Redline: Other than Hoffman, Redlines would have to be my favorite bike, not saying they're the
             best but one of my personal favorites. I currently own a 440, which is a nice bike, but
             the more up-market racing bikes are very good especially the Pro XL. I would say that
             the Redline racing bikes are the best racing bikes that are made. But their freestyle have
             left much to be desired. Although the 640 is a very nice bike, the price is steep considering
             the new Haro Cozmo and the Mongoose DMC's price are around the same price.

Haro: Well, in my opinion, the new 98' Haros's are good value but the frames on the Shredder,
          Cozmo and Ultra just don't cut it. The addition of the Revo to the 98' range of Haro's is
          good as it is only $350. Kade's opinion is that the addition of the threadless forks and a-head
          was a very good idea. He thinks that the Ultra is a very good bike for flatland, even though it
          lacks the traditional platform familiar to most flatland bikes. The Cozmo is a very good bike
          for the price of $850, coming with 3-piece Fusion cranks. In his opinion the new 98' frame
          designs are a very welcome change and they bring the Haro bicycle company up with
          Hoffman and Standard. (Kade's opinion only, no way Hoffman's are equal to anything)
          Leigh's opinion is that they are just all right.

GT (Dyno, Robinson, Powerlite): The GT  98'  racing bikes are simply the best but the freestyle's
       leave room for improvement with the exception of the Detour which has adopted the Dyno
       Slammer frame design. The new Vertigo really sucks with no U-Brakes. In my opinion the
       98' GT freestyle range with the exception of the Detour is no better than the 97' range.aaa
      And it seems to be the same right throughout the Powerlite and Robinson range of 98' models.
