This is also my 15 month review. I don't have much to report because the Fantom 29 has performed flawlessly. I have had absolutely no problems since my last review.
Enjoy the pics of Marsh Creek.


This blog is my evaluaton of the Motobecane Fantom 29 mtb from bikesdirect. Bikes from bikesdirect seem like a good value but there are few owner reviews on the web. Most comments found are from people who have no actual experience on Motobecane bikes. These commenters often advise against buying a bike online and going to your local bike shop (LBS). I do not work for Motobecane, bikesdirect or any other bike company. I am an engineer at the local power company.

Mike,
Thanks for providing the long term review of the bike. You made the case for me. Plan on going to the LBS tomorrow and ride a C-dale 4, 29er to see what it feels like, then if happy will get this same bike. Seems like a pretty good deal. Diggin' the blog dude!!

Mike - good to see an update. A couple of my friends have Motos and I helped assemble them. I can say I agree with your assessment - solid bike, solid value. BTW, had my buddy not been coming down that evening, I would've probably seen you at Marsh Creek that Friday. We ended up riding Blue Marsh the next day - you should tag along with us next time - very relaxed pace, just out for fun.
Take care, Mike (the other Mike)
thanks Mike. I will post. My site is a little different than most. Part of it is like a preview for other blogs. Check out where you rank. Bloggers I subscribe to start out with rss, but anyone is welcome to post. My little app also counts calories and does a few other things. Oh, I also link to the blogs.
