jeez you guys just hate everything... It's not that bad. Looks nice, granted, it's pretty much purely aesthetic as no straps/clips make it ********, it looks nice. The one piece crank is interesting too. If my bike had come with that crank I would probably leave it on until it broke, and then replace it with a 2 piece. It's interesting looking. Definitely not the worst bike on FGG/CL/Velospace, by any means.
