Yeah it's got low end components on it. But the thing is built solid. It has no give in the frame at all. I'm not sure that my old Dyno freestyle BMX bike was this stiff. Not sure if the guy I bought it from got it new or second hand in Germany but my gut says that it was marketed to American soldiers that were stationed there.

I debated keeping the brakes setup as it was but ultimately changed it to the American setup. Strangely I setup my green bike with the right brake as the front. I'm not sure why. When I redo that bike I'll probably switch it back.
