Im for damn sure not a Red neck. For your information we took the bikes from the junkyard and rebuilt them, re-painted them and either rode them or gave them to kids. We weren't advertising as a freaking repair shop.

I was maybe 12/13, my neighbor was 16, at the time, excuse me for not being an expert on the terms.

Thanks again, for trying to make me look like a dumb-ass in front of the world. I really appreciate it.

Neither of you seem to need help on the subject of looking like a dumbass.

This is the internet, stop arguing.

Ill stop arguing with the guy when he realizes he doesn't need to sit there and point me out for trying to help the person out.
If I was obviously wrong, which I wasn't, then I could understand the criticism.

Didn't come with a stand. The guy at the shop that was helping me asked me if I wanted one free of charged so I said sure why not. He told me to be careful though when going on rough terrain that it doesn't come down when going over bumps.
Im just keeping it on the bike until I get my self a wall rack. It does look dumb, I know.

Juice Box's are actually not that great. I'll take a water or a vault though.
I'm not assuming, I wasn't wrong, as I pretty much said same thing as the other guy did. He's just trying to point me out and make me look stupid. Calling me a Red Neck accomplished nothing, as I didn't think people from Alaska were really Red Necks.

FWIW, I got the 2007 Schwinn Mesa from Perfomance Bike for $179 which included lifetime service. You can't get a Trek or Specialized for that.
