I agree I wouldn't buy it. but its not a fantasy of a pallet of parts. Its a bike that someone who is poor can just go buy and ride.

this BSO think is literally something that only a elitist group of people would say about things that poor people own and use happily every day.

You can probably go to goodwill or the salvation army and find a much better bike for less money. Every poor person I have ever know is well aware of places to get a bike, they also have all known someone that could fix a bike. Heck the homeless dudes around here basically made their own bike coop at one point until the city shut down their tent city.
