Pimp bike, dominates all

By ada2596872 January 5, 2012

This bike is pimp. Real easy to assemble out of the box, had it riding right away. It's super quick, rides real smooth, got a nice sharp look to it (a clean BMX look). The disc brakes are a great asset (especially coming from a bike with barely working brakes). The bars are funky and I kind of like them, but I've got neck problems and just ordered a pair of bars that are almost ape-hanger bars, but not quite there - much higher up for a more upright position. If I remember to I'll post a pic when I put the new bars on. A great bike to whip around town on, tough and durable, fun ride. Haven't had to deal with Swobo yet, which sounds like a major plus.
