It has BMX brakes for example.

Maybe it's the BSO version of a FGSS bike?

Anyways, it was an attempt to compete with [MENTION=49209]CigTech[/MENTION] who had/has(?) a GMC Denali, which was also considered a BSO at that time.

Here's a link to other thread ... with some wild claims

Review on the GMC Denali bicycle
Some of us have gone way beyond CigTech's venture with our Denali's , which is still a BSO but actually a pretty decent bike if you don't mind the messing-with to keep it going.

In fact, I rode mine to work today. Deliberately, not because I had to. I got it in 2008 I think, 18-20K miles on it plus or minus.
