My sister has a Micargi beach cruiser thats still going strong. ( she had it for like 10 years). But this bike looks ridiculous unless its like $99.

assuming it's properly assembled, i see nothing wrong with that bike. just know that it'll be a little on the heavy side, and it comes with zero street cred.

I'd watch out, when I click "Honor" under their About Us section it pops up a message that says "Have Not Any Information!". Sounds like these guys don't have any sense of honor, and therefore will give you no street cred.

That, um looks terrible... I cringe thinking about what kind of aluminum can was used to make that bike

I picked up my '09 SE Draft at Performance Bikes for under $250 w/ tax...
Edit: But that's because I already had my Weinmanns to make it into a fixie.
And I got it on a sale on top of a 10% off "gift card" they snail mailed me...
Edit #2: PS just looked on Performance's website and the Draft lite (which comes with a fixed/free flip flop rear wheel) is $199.99. From what I was told it's a few pounds lighter than the Draft...and low inventory. Hope you can pick it up now....
