Summary:
I went crazy after purchasing this bike. I traded out the Nexus 4 speed for a Nexus 7 speed hub, WOW, what a difference! The spokes are exactly the same for the hub exchange and I bought the custom roller brake with the aluminum fins for cooling. I had the frame powder painted in pearl tangerine orange and had it hand pinstriped with black & gray. I traded out the ugly seat and dorky aluminum grips for an Electra Bicycles decorative black embossed flame design seat and grips. Now I just love the bike! For the money, this bike is loaded. They can be purchased for $300 - $350 with a little research. I purchased mine for $350 out the door. I wish I could have picked up a purple one then I would not have had it powder painted, Oh well :-)

Strengths:
Awesome looking and captures a lot of attention while riding!

Weaknesses:
The forks when turned to either side will destroy the paint or even dent the frame. I purchasaed some round rubber doughnuts from e-bay to take care of the problem. Sure seems crazy that the bike comes with this significant flaw :-(
I wish they woould have gone with the 7 speed instead of the 4 speed rear hub. The 4 speed just does not provide enough gear ratios to really enjoy long rides especially in varied terrain as hills etc.

Bike Setup:
As stated above, 3 spd model. Added 1 cool looking chrome front light, converted from bulb to LED, and 1 "non alcoholic" beverage holder.

Summary:
Fantastic bike. Awesome look. Dont listen to anyone who says it has a "Fire" paint job, as its smoke. This bike came in grey and purple. Mine is a "smoke" grey 3 spd. Looks slick, rides smooth, turns heads yea.

Strengths:
The roller breaks are awesome, tonnes of fun with J Skids, stock has fat Flame tires, gt piston keeps those ape hangars in place.

Weaknesses:
Wow this thing is heavy! 3 flights of stairs phew. Oh well, sturdy, an solid.
