Am I crazy?
..or is this just an awsome deal?
Long Link
I'm thinking I might get one of these. If I like it I'll keep it, if not throw everything that fits on my Kona and sell the rest. As far as I can see, there's my disks, wheels, tires, seat, fork...
Thoughts?

well its not your new fork, that ones a 1" steerer tube. and by shimmano, i think it means that everything is below the level of tourney, so i personally dont think its a good deal, you can get a new bike at wal-mart for $160 (thats $45 in shipping). just saying, anyway, they dont give you a specs list, so you have no clue what components are on it.

You CAN polish a turd.....but then you just have a shiny turd.
I think....that the tires may be worth...$5 each...tubes..another $5. Anything else is junk.. OH wait...the kickstand...might bring $3-4 on ebay.
