I just wanted it as a beater or to take on mellow group rides. I'll post some pics.

Guess it wasn't cold set and I need to go over the bike since as I was riding it around my backyard the rear wheel popped out and I fell into the bushes. Was kinda funny even if there were thorns.
What does cold setting have to do with with the rear wheel popping out? The wheel popped out because the skewer wasn't tightened properly. I bet the seller did the ole "twist the handle like a wing nut til it gets tight" thingy with the skewer which is the wrong way to do it.
