Just pointing out some scary marketing. This is an ad for a department store bike. Its a rolling death trap. I cant believe this is actually the ad photo. let take a closer look at all the features of this mountain capable suicide machine.
- ergonomics. check out the comfortable angles of this cockpit.
- This bike boasts front and rear disc brakes for dependable stopping power if, maybe the cables were connected to those ergo levers and the front wheel wasn't on backwards so the rotor was actually a part of the front brake.
- It also comes equipped with a front and rear suspension for a smooth ride although im pretty sure that one of the arms on the fork is fixed anyway.
- an alloy quick-adjust seat pin, which is neat because ive never seen a seat pin before. all my bikes have plain ol' posts.
- a 21-speed easy-twist Shimano shifting system for responsive gear changes.... (sigh) im a fan of shimano, but its sad that they made these components.
- killer paint
- sweet kickstand
- triple crank which will come in handy when pedaling this speedy 48lb. machine up any sort of incline.
So, im just posting this as a buyer beware. consumers that arent enthusiasts are the ones looking at these type of purchases and wont realized what they are getting into until its falling apart, or worse, someone is seriously injured. this goes for any bike that is not purchased from an actual bike shop. dont buy a bike at the same place u purchase groceries or toys. Bike shops dont juggle departments..... they sell and service bikes. period.
oh, and its posted as a BMX!!!
