i can totally understand what your saying.
just know im smart enough to never buy it new for that price
garage sale for 15 bucks! anywho i plan on changing everything on it like you said and it turns out to be way cheaper than the bike i wanted.
im cycling for fun, exercise. im not looking to race or time trials and what not. if im judged for the bike i ride then thats typical of the world today.
at school ive been judged by the car im driving so im used to it.(not the reason im getting a new car haha) i agree its a cheap bike definietly not worth anything
but it works for me and have put 150 miles on it since i got it. i have champagne taste on a beer budget! so i gotta work with what i have.

Those handlebars are cut in half, from what I recall, and spliced back... maybe under the stem bolts?
I wouldn't sprint on that thing.

Gotta love those 28 Footers. You don't need a captains license but you might need your CDL for that thing.

You guys are just mad that it has a half Zipp disc for less than the price you paid for your cassette.
