ol_school_bmx's Full Review: Specialized Fatboy Hemi Team (1999)
If you want to get a mountain bike, then go buy a mountain bike. This supposed to be a bmx bike. BMX bikes are double diamonds. I don't want to sound closed minded but when you mess with that formula the results rarely turn out well. This bike has no seat tube. Great marketing idea, but for functionality it is an awful idea. One of the reasons a bike has a seat tube is to stabilize the bottom bracket. You get a lot of side to side flex around the bottom bracket, especially on the chromoly models. What happens when you stress aluminum to much? Snap, crackle, pop is not only a breakfast cereal. If you want a mountain bike, get one. If you want a bmx racing bike, get something that atleast looks like a bmx bike.
