Total ripoff. He took an old road bike that can be found for less than 50 easily, stripped some parts, and threaded on a bmx freewheel. With a few wrenches you can do that quite easily for less than 60 bucks with ease, and less that 40 if you wait for a good deal. All you need is an old road bike, and a 12-15 dollar freewheel from the LBS.
