My Enduro... this is a phenominal bike and I am still not certain I should have retired it. I had it for 2 years and put a huge number of miles on this bike and it took a tremendous amount of punishment. There is very little that I didn't like about it. I got the Enduro after I destroyed the Sugar because I wanted something a little more rugged. Also having the extra travel was very nice. It is no coincidence that my newest bike is very similar to the Enduro.

When they finally returned my Sugar it had a 2002 frame with the 2001 kit and the Sugar 1 paint job. I was pretty happy the new years bike has 4" of travel which is very nice, the 2001 only had 2.8". When I eventually cracked this frame on the chainstay they only replaced the rear triangle and they replaced it with a carbon Fibre rear triagle which made me happy for a while...

Until the carbon fiber separated from the aluminum on the chainstay :( I warranteed the bike a third time and then sold it in frustration. Fortunately by this time I had been riding my Enduro for some time which is an excellent bike.

The other bad news is that the 2002 frame had even more problems with chainsuck than the 2001 frame (which was bad). Overall I was pretty happy with the bike but between the cracked frames and the chainsuck problems there is no way I am going to ever get a Fissure or Trek bike again.

The Silver Bike is my Old 2001 Sugar 3, It was my first ride and I enjoyed it until I cracked the frame right above the pivot on the seat tube. Gary Fissure's warrantee policy is OK so they replaced it without too much trouble, however it took about 6 weeks to get the bike back.

A complete separation, the first of three, Bummer..
