I would say the fork is the weakest part of it...but yes, that's a real good deal.
 
to tell you the truth, the only stock items on my bike are the rear wheel, the frame, and the seat post, ohh yea, and the stem, that thing rocks. the rest is as follows

2003 DJ2
20mm formula hub laced to ryno lite
chris king steelset
titec hellbents
pedros grips
replaced hayes mech unit in back
maxxis hookworms
2003 p 1 frame of course
snafu street seat
salsa seat qr
FSA X drive cranks, bmx tubular model
KINK OG 33 tooth sprocket
sun/ringle zuzu pedals
410 heavy duty chain

thats most of it, keep in mind i am a heavy rider, i am 210 with not alot of style, i have had this bike for 3 months now, i ovalize dht etank headset 4mm, and the fork lived thru it, i broke a truvative bb, the chain died, i replaced the bashguard/mtb crank set up for some bmx stuff, i was just plain scared of those stock handelbars. i had to move on to the precision and crisp feel of a 20mm front end. i love the frame, and the components left, good bike to start out with, but if you ad it up, i have put oo much money into this kinda cheapie.lovable frame, strong, just low base price. it all added up to about 1500 now, im gonna switch frames but meh, ill ride the p1 for a year more, or two, buy the bike, its a great beast.

Ya those can take alot i used to have a P.3 same frame as the new P.1 and it could take everything. I had to sell it to help pay for my C-dale:( don't really miss it to be honest i like urban trials more than DJing and drops so i've been sorta looking out for a good deal on a trialish bike. I found the P3 was to heavy and clunky to be good for trilas. But it's great for drops, Djing and that stuff
