Without addressing the rear suspension (if needed) just adds expense and time for something that would not be the best choice for your stated application (trailer).
99% of the time, the cheap bicycles become expensive relative to their worth. It might work out fine, and it is different, and that's cool, but unless you really want it, I would pass.
Thanks for the reply! I think that's the reality check I was looking for. I think deep down I always thought they were cool and that's what was the main driving factor rather than looking into the practicality of actually owning one for the purpose that I'd be using the bike for.
