My issue with the Denali is that I believe it's components are likely to wear out very quickly. The fact that the shifters are slipping out of adjustment meets with my experience, as does the skipping chain. I confidently predict that the first round of bearing adjustment is not far away. I don't mind what a bike looks like, but I do object to people being asked to pay money for a bike made of cheese, when they can get one which will last longer for less money, used. That's why I think this test is invaluable. IF the stuff about such bikes failing very quickly is exaggerated, we'll soon know. If not, we'll know that too.

Personally, the problems with shifting would have been enough to put me off. As I've said before on this thread, I have a number of bikes that cost me less money than this, and which NEVER have shifting problems, and that would be good enough for me.
