fuji86,

How much was wrong with this bike out of the box? What had to be replaced? How many hours invested in getting it working properly? How much pain in the butt factor? Not my idea of a bargain. It sounds like a pure piece of crap that you made functional through bulldog like perseverance and an overriding desire to prove it could be made into a functional item. Good for you and all and I certainly hope you enjoy it and it remains safe. But, given what you went through I can't see how you could possibly recommend it. Clearly, you made it work - after significant pain. That's not my idea of a selling point.
