This part is a real bummer, as that Tempo is a really nice piece of work. The concept is great and the execution is too. Remember this is the interwebs, and somebody is gonna flame

Wanna make this back into a good experience? Take two giant steps back, look at the bike, and say to yourself, "Wow. I freakin'
built that."
