Thanks,

I really did enjoy this review. I am new to biking. I dont even have a bike yet, not even sure if I want to go with a road bike or a mtb turned commuter yet. But that is a different thread. I have seen this bike for sale and was actually thinking about getting one of them. And kind of like NO EXIT said, "Even if the average person doesnt get 2k miles out of this $150 bike, how much is it worth in wrenching experience?" That is also something that has been even more convincing to me to that maybe I should consider this bike.

Also, another thought I have on this bikke is, what if biking turns out to something that "just isnt for me". At least I only spend $150 on a bike and not $600............

Once again thanks again for the review, and keep us posted with updates!

BTW, does everyone think that I could run faster with Nikes then with Wal-Mart shoes?
