Swobo Sanchez legit?
Is it possible to take the decals off of the sanchez? I'm planning on buying one but I am not sure if it is actually a sanchez, because of its lack of decals.

$350 seem good?

the 'decals' are metal badges. The headbadge is riveted on and the tt badge is glued on. The tt badge is hard to remove but can be done. The headbadge would be a huge pain and I cant see it being removed without visible marks.
My roommate had the sanchez. it's a good bike with stable geo. I'd say for the money it's one of the best out there of the starter fixed gear bikes.
upload the picture and we can tell you if it's a sanchez

Yep, that's a Sanchez.
I have a Sanchez, love it. Geometry is a little more on the road side, but makes for comfortable long rides. As far as removing the badges, i took them all off with ease. The front is riveted on, but there is a way to take them off with leaving the rivets on. The bike you posted doesn't have any anyway, so i guess it doesn't matter. Favorite thing about the bike is the brushed steel paint job. I have pretty much replaced everything on the bike except the frame itself.
For $350 that's a solid deal.
