Come over my way and I'll take you rockcrawling in my automatic Jeep. Nothing like being halfway up a rock face and having to use a clutch for sucking a whole lotta seat cushion up your behind

Price is outrageous. Right off the bat you'd at least have to rip those silly flippy things off and put on real fenders.

Personally I'd spend $1000 on a cross bike and tweak that.

I really like both of those. The cargo bike could cost a tad less though.

The Giant Via 3 seems to be a better value than the Trek Earl.
