Suddenly I can actually see commuting on an x-mart bike...

Wait. Actually,no. I'm lying. ALthough with those Cionlli components, it IS awfully tempting! ;)

Heh, amazing...now we have cheap roadies.

THere's a guy at work who's been riding to work on a used walmart bike that I should tell about this one...he seems to know his maintenance, so it might not be too bad a deal for him.
