Since this thread is already going down this rabbit hole.... I don't even believe he bought it. Check out the photos on his first post. Now compare them to what's on the Walmart site right now (
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3663046). Granted they aren't the same photos, but they are photos of the same parts of the bike, and two years have passed which might be enough time for Walmart to update their photos.
Given the photos on the Walmart site and a copy of Photoshop, it wouldn't be hard to put that bike in your kitchen. As an experiment, I spent about five minutes with the Paint program the comes with Windows (I don't have Photoshop), and made this picture of the Denali in Redwoods State Park.
Of course this isn't nearly as good as CigTech's pictures, but I hardly spent any time on it and didn't have good software. The main reason my picture is so obviously fake is because the background wasn't all exactly the same shade of white when I combined the pictures, so the anti-liasing shows around the bike. Photoshop could not only fix that for me, it could have the bike cast shadows. My other big problem is that I didn't get the bike picture quite to scale.
