Rude for describing a bike with as many problem in as little time and use as you have outlined as being overpriced junk? Sorry I've had city bikes with 10 years of all weather use have far less problems than you have encountered and the bikes cost less at retail. Perhaps I was a bit harsh on the paint scheme, lots of children and hipsters in the neighborhood probably admire it.

What is a Römer Jockey? I've got lots of good German bikes, all less costly than your so-called BSO. Never knowingly put a Römer Jockey (whatever it is) on any of them.
