Problem with North American frames... the welds are absolute crap, and if you do any type of hardcore riding, I'd expect the welds to blow.
of course that's only what I hear from racers and freeriders, so maybe it'd be fine as a commuter.

That must be the newer Rocky's I have a 16 year old Rocky Mountain Stratos and man that bike is still rock solid. I don't ride as often or as hard as I used to but she still offers up a smooth ride on the trails.
Some advice ZX3Tuner if you are going to buy a good bike and take it downtown strip the stickers off the bike, even if you take the tires and seat off your bike the frame is the crown jewel to a good bike and thats what bike thieves look for when they are looking for a bike to steal.
