Did those 5-spoke BMX wheels ride well? Or the opposite?

Given the age range of the target demographic, I don't think that was really the point.

If I'm picking a Trek I'm going for the Y-Foil.

They did not. I wanted a pair of the campagnolo equipped "graphite" skyway tuff wheels, and traded a nice pair of alloys (7x rims 80/60 db spokes and bullseye hubs) for them and couldn't get them spun up, real dead feeling but some of the top guys were running them (and could have won on just about anything I guess) Gratuitous pic att'd

I'm all in with you on the Phoenix.

Probably the best riding bike of any type I have ever ridden. Too bad I don't own one...

I see, thank U.

That reminds me of a "phoenix-like" bike I once had...not iconic though.
