Not very impressive. Just another overpriced brand using high price
to create "cache' ". For less money you get a world championship
proven- handmade in USA Cannondale bike that world class riders use.
Plus anyone can make a MTB . Look at nashbar.com and youll find an AL
mtb frame for <$100 . No difference between that and ventana. When a
maker can create road, cyclocross, mtb, touring, hybrid and every
other type of bike make that brand worthwhile
