What is with them and putting those tiny wheels on bikes? Fer g-d sakes. knock it off. a non-folding commuter bike should have decent enough wheels to handle and provide gyroscopic forces to help keep the rider upright. These little wheels are no good on a commuter. I can understand for folders cuz it's all about compact design. but on a steel framed hardcore commuter bike? no.
I'm not sure how "serious" the show is trying to be. I think it might be somewhat of a spoof on MTV's Pimp my Ride and Monster Garage.
Just the way they use the cut off wheel to dismantle the bike is a little silly. And then they paint the bike with spray paint. I think it's more meant for comedy.
