i'm as enthusiastic about modding and upgrading as anyone, but i have to wonder if this particular platform is really worth it.
if the frameset was available for purchase for say, 75usd, i can understand it (and i probably would have already bought one). but, considering this bike costs 300usd and the general consensus is that virtually every part on it is crap, it doesnt seem like a good investment. particularly when, for 500usd you can buy a soma mini that comes stock with good quality components.
