Ok, maybe not "all wrong" but is sure isn't right in that in order to have a utility bike you have to
spend $$ to build your own. That alone is a puts off to many who sense that the bike they need isn't
available "ready built". Kinda reminds me of making a silk purse from a sows ear.....it'll work but
never be "just right". We used to have really nice utility bikes in America.
