A bike is a bike is a bike. Low end, high end, middle end.
Ride them, repair them, upgrade everything…….
Have fun, enjoy, get outside, exercise.
Possibly all equally capable in the eyes of Mr&Ms Average Citizen.
But, I can only ask:
If people love these bikes so much, why would someone re-decal a South Korean Free Spirit as an Italian Benotto? And be proud of it. Pride, ego? Consummate snob?
no response needed.
any answer is self disparaging.
YMMV
