I'm looking for a decent cheap bike, and the SST seems appropriate, and I like how this one has no decals:

It's also $30 cheaper than BD's SST, but the specs listed on ebay are unclear. Does anyone know if there are any important differences between the two?

I can see an ugly crankset on the ebay SST, and the stem and bars are different. But the wheels/frame/hub and bottom bracket seem the same.

???

Thanks for any help, Bikeforums !

I appreciate it!:mad:
