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.
Today I rode 7.0 miles at Springton Manor Farm. Although it was only 10 am it was already hot and humid. The Fantom 29 performed flawlessly.
I haven't been riding the Fantom 29 as much as I used to. I have primarily been riding my Raleigh Grand Prix rode bike. I really like riding the Fantom 29 in the Fall and Winter when the weather is cooler.

keep up the miles.
You inspired me to bike and loose weight.
I have since lost over 14lbs. Must have done over 300 miles myself.
Love your blog and bought myself a Moto as well. 29er Pro
