Woodstock 707 Prototype: Jimmy Loves It!

Jimmy Rigsby, owner of Woodstock Bikes sent me a report on how well the Woodstock 707 is doing.

I have been riding the prototype 707 very hard now for 4 months and I have to say that I am very impressed with it. I didn’t know what I was missing with a front suspension bike until rode the Woodstock 707 full suspension model! Smoooooth, is what first comes to mind! The four bar rear suspension frame really is an awesome ride. And I have also been very pleased with the durability of this bike. I have been riding this bike very hard (average 4 to 5 rides per week at 10 miles each) and it has held up fantastically. As hard as I have been riding it, I keep expecting to get a wheel a little out of true, or to have to replace the cable housings, or the chain or something. But I have only had to make some minor adjustments to the cable tension using the barrel adjusters on the shifters and the brake levers. I haven’t even had a flat tire yet! The only negative I found with the prototype was that I felt the front fork spring was a little soft, so we changed the specs and upgraded the spring from “standard�? to “firm�? and now I can honestly tell you I cannot find a negative about this bike. The bike is a little bit heavier (about 3 pounds), but I can’t tell the difference when I am riding! It just feels like my good ole 505 with a much smoother ride!
