my frame has been a tank, the fork bent twice on me so it was replaced (the second time one side of the crown actually bent). thats probably a big part of why the handling sucks on my winner now, as i think the rake is not right on the new fork.
they were definitly cheap bike boom bikes with steel rims and stem shifters and cottered cranks, but the frame would be sweet as a ss/fg or even as a touring bike.
