Look at the rims. Aluminum frame.
This bike was pretty darn light.
Look at the price tag.
For that price you can buy some good components and still be ahead.
Wal mart is our enemy.
Soon they will DEVOUR our bike shops.
I want so bad to support my bike shop.
I want a heavy duty cruiser.
Those Nirve bikes pretty much rule.
But I don't have 400 dollars.
Down the road,when I lose some weight and I'm ready for a road bike.
158 dollars is a NO BRAINER.
