$50 for a bike- sounds fantastic. Then you try to assemble the bike and find that the brakes will not lign up- The wheels are a bit heavy as the are made out of Steel- the deraillers only have movement through 3 of the 5 gears and as you tighten the bars up- something goes "Ping".

How do I know? My neighbour bought one and asked me to help assemble it as he only had metric tools. Don't know what the bolt sizes were as they were not Imperial either.
