hey fender, I have a question... so what exactly do you mean when you say the denali is a POS...

if I remember, cig basically bought the thing for the frame and decided to write it up here... now don't get me wrong the bike is harder to push than my other high end bike but other than that it does seem to work and seems pretty sturdy... (im fairly hefty)... however, I myself have decided not to use it as a commuter because it is hard to push... Im going to use it as a recreational backup when my preferred bike is in the shop for something...

I found that going used was a problem if you didn't already have something you could ride now... you have to search for a prospective bike, you have to travel to the person to take a look. and I found that I didn't know bikes as well as I thought I did...

but there are better bikes on ebay if you can afford it (its not much higher but it is higher...).
