To put it mildly: This
flaming piece of cycling GUANO is the WORST piece of cycle s*it the planet has EVER SEEN!! 
Any bike under the umbrella of Pacific Cycle is not worth owning. It's Walmart stuff. That's why I stated in a previous post "pre-Pacific Cycle buyout of GT" as GT bikes were once a very innovative companay. Then the founder died and they were bought by Schwinn and blah blah blah.
The moral of the story is don't buy anything from Pacific Cycles as it will be a peice of scheiße.
