Not only was it cheap, but it started so many conversations in rural Quebec. Other than an annoying click in the bottom bracket it served me well for my three week trip. I also sold it for a slight profit at the end of the trip! I have since done the same thing in Romania and Poland. My only concern about my Irish trip is that prices for bikes seems very high. I am sure it has something to do with high taxes over there. John
