P.S. here's the same bike with gears.

Let them strip off the "27-Speed w/ SRAM X-7 Rear & Suntour Front Derailleurs and the extra 2 chainrings, and they'll sell it to you for $250 cheaper. Still has the eccentric bb for easy SS conversion.

I think it's sort of a gateway bike. The kind of thing someone is likely to buy when they are getting serious enough about pavement riding that they want something better than a beach cruiser, or an old mountain bike, but don't yet realize they are ready for a road bike. Mondo fat tire clearances and relaxed position are nice in their way, but I remember when I was lusting after a bike like this within a year I was moving to skinnier tires, and drop bars. Glad I didn't drop big bucks on a Trek 7500fx, or a Dr. Dew
