I'm surprised this bike is getting off so easy. The only thing I find impressive about this bike was 9 years old and found brand new. Other than that, it is far from anything most people would take a second look at. Understand that I'm not saying it is a POS. I'm basing my opinion strictly out of aesthetics and visual appeal (Or lack there of). Plain stock bike with upright and non aggressive position (Which includes a tower of spacers + flipped upward stem). Saddle Bag connected to a saddle that looks like a flaccid wiener. Tires that dont line up with the valve stems and borderline cross chain.
Very much a plain 'ol ordinary stock bike. Not
