He is out riding it right now and I am sure that he will give a first hand report soon, on this forum. I'm a bit of a bike snob myself, but I must say, this bike looks OK. Time will tell if it holds up, I'll keep an eye on it.
Well so much for the theory that these bikes are kid sized, so you can adjust them to fit anyone by just raising or lowering the seatpost. I have a 28" inseam, and by my calculation I'd have to remove the seapost and saddle, and sit on the frame just to reach the pedals properly. And for anyone under 5'-6", you can forget about standover clearance. Yeah, one size fits all.
