Bikes: too many

my roommate got one, I helped him set it up.

fork came with the dropout bent, so we had to throw a wrench in it and bend it to get the axle in. the paint got a little ****ed up around the notch, but it works now. Otherwise it went together pretty nicely.

pedals are garbage, though i think my friend will just ride them until they totally sieze up (they're really sandy and rough feeling. the platform part themselves aren't very comfortable either). I haven't ridden it much, but so far it seems solid (we threw on a 16t cog i had sitting around, some cheap stamped POS). the saddle is pretty garbage too, I'm used to riding on a b17 or rolls though, I guess it works though. the wheels came pretty true, and the tension felt right. overall I think it's a great deal, and just needs another 70 or so dumped in to make it great (mks pedals, used rolls, metal clips)
