In Philadelphia Alphas are a cheap ready to ride bike that you know is fine right out of the box(unlike anything from BD). I don't know why they exist in any other city.

$400 for that thing, and the specs doesn't have the tires or crankset listed. Kill it with fire.

Your cog is slipping.
Can we talk about this for a minute?:
"Mother was a Crusier, Father was a Fixie"
"Hipster Free Since 2003"
Also, that down tube decal:

I don't know if I'd trust a bike mechanic named Frankenstien.

The shop owner is a wingnut for sure. I loved watching him try to sell noseless saddles. It was a good time killer on slow days.

In that case, end the thread because the op's question was answered in the second post.

Until then. Mayhem.
interlude - does it say frankstein (as u say) or frankinstien (which hurts, really). Either way it's tragic.
