but if you do get one than you need to go small, like a 48 if you would normally go with a 55, its alright for allycats but magnas are way better

oh thanks! real answers appreciated. I have a question though—are those shocks? do they make the bike heavier or do I really need them? how much does that run?

165, you may be telling the truth about the gearing, but you don't fool me—that magna is women's specific... that much I know.
and you call yourself a mod—you should be ashamed.

You have to use hydrochloric acid to remove the stickers.
They always lose every race. Stay away from them.
