JohnnyTheFox, dunno, i have nothing to compare it to
this is my, basically, first bike (good one).. a little "hard" frame though, my ass still hurts after my first ride (4 days ago)
unrelated
Hell no! After i've rode in some dog sh1t and it was all over the bike..
And most importantly - my back. Thank god i got in it with rear wheel. I don't even want to imagine what would happend if it was front wheel
