Most of your statements are about how heavy it is and theres no doubt the bike weights alot, I mainly rode dirt and was never concerned about trying to build a light bike. I had not trouble throwing it around. I agree the front rim is crap but it came free from a stolen bike and the rim befor that was a tripple wall which was too heavy so I put the haro on, the sprocket is also crap two but I wanted a 39 tooth instead of the 44 so I bought a cheap one and I have other 44 tooth sprocketas that are way better, I just dont like the gear ratio with them. Most of the parts on the bike were bought about 4-5 years ago thats why you look at it and say its all junk
