Doesn't seem to have rack mounts or be possible to put a Klick Fix mount on the handlebars. It'l lalso be quite hard to fit mudguards and the child seat.

Hmmm. "bomb". "molotov". "urban". Is that the sound of an Echelon twitching? ;-)

Probably adequate for its designed use, but I wouldn't have much use for it. With that low saddle and only one hand position, I'd be dying by the time I got only 20 miles into my ride, and the rest of the time would be pure misery.

I'd have to launch off a lot of stairs and hit a lot of dirt jumps to even *get* to 20 miles on this bike in one ride! :)

Yeah, 20 miles of BMXing or freeriding would be a loooooooong ride!

Where's da fuse? How can there be an Earth-shattering kaboom if there's no fuse?

Nice; I certainly wouldn't complain if it showed up under my tree, but I could be just as happy at a significantly lower cost. But then, I'm a cheap bastard who shops for bikes at thrift stores, police auctions and garage sales. (And I rather like doing it.) -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

But on second look, I'd have to put a relly long seat post on it, and fudge the bars up about 6 inches, before I could ride it very far. OTOH, list the frame on eBay and transfer the kit to one of the old large frames in the roof of the garage, and I'd have a good bike and some pocket money too. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

This guy's probably getting pretty aggravated that we're all running down his new ride. Oh, well.... <Grin>

Not really my sort of thing, but one thing stands out as a very serious problem: you haven't got any mud on it yet! To hell with the "awesome paintwork", go and get it covered in crap and have fun on it! ;-)

What? Sports Authority didn't have tassels in stock?

Tassels are so last-week. It's frame-mounted mirrors now. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts.

Pink tassels and a Walt Disney "Tinker"bell?
I agree with an earlier poster. This bike would look a lot better with some scratches and mud streaks on it (only a matter of time if ridden enjoyably).
I don't understand the appeal of a black off-road bike, though. Don't they have deer hunting season over there?

A good illustration of how one man's meal is another man's poison. Street? It's entirely black, and has no reflectors anywhere. No generator. No rack. Aggressive knobbies.
On the other hand, you probably wouldn't be happy with my bikes, either. Enjoy!

Wasn't there a "rate me" post feating this bike to alt.mountain-bike in the not so distant past? IIRC the concensus there was that it merited about 4/10.

But now that someone has mentioned it, there will doubtless be an attempt made to stunt from Seattle to Tacoma or some such. -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug. Some gardening required to reply via email. Words processed in a facility that contains nuts.
