I'm not surprised. A Big Ruckus is basically a Reflex without the plastics, right? When we had a Reflex, we used to take it on 100+ mile runs. It was hard on my back, 'cause the Reflex is a little too small for me, but the bike had no problems. People on the Reflex board on Yahoo take their bikes all over including cross-country; Reflexes are absolute tanks when it come to reliability.

Pulling this one out of the Archives. Catching up on some of the older threads.

Anyhow, that Rukus look's like fun to ride. Don't see to many of them around this area.

Thanks for sharing your pics.
