Right. They "promise a ridable bike, and sell one." Sure. Know who else promises a ridable bike? Wal-Mart. By the standards provided, they deliver too. The component quality was highly worrisome, but I might have gotten a freakish bad run on those. The seat? The hub rod? BOTH pedals?? The rust was unacceptable.
And this is a UTILITY forum, here. I'd expect people to be familiar with pretty much any cargo hauling option.

The industrialists I know would do that, sure. Then they would calculate the price they spent on paint, plus the cost to take a worker off the line for awhile to do the painting, plus the cost to set up the painting setup, tsk and grump a lot, add it to the cost paid, and browse the competition's catalogs.
