well I just got my non-walmart bike back from the LBS Thank god just in time for 40 miles. It is sitting at 50cents a mile.

Update
1580 miles only one broke spoke one tune up. Yes that is 10 cents a mile if your not counting MTC.
I adjusted the seat and it is more enjoyible.
I wonder why they would weld the handle bars? (sorry if I did not see why).
I like this bike because it was the first brand new road bike for under 200 bucks I could find.

If you don't have the floor space why not just put it in storage and have a picture on the wall or something. You could even put a tarp on it and store it outside as I am sure no one will steal it. I have placed this sucker in all sorts of ghettos and not even a scratch.

P.S I have seen the Roadmaster or whatever selling for 80 bucks at a LBS. They also have 400 dollar road bicycles new.
