  1. Look at that geometry, what were they thinking! It's like a road bike with small wheels. This is surely the Pontiac Aztec of the bike world.

  2. Dude, are you insane? I actually own one of these things(and I still have it), and it's more like a 550 Maranello. Sure, it isn't that reliable, but it's really comfy. Love or hate the looks, this is arguably one of the best bikes I've ever owned.

    1. I just bought one, the wheels look small because the frame is huge, it's an optical illusion, my wheels are 26"
