There is some major hate out there for this bike. Yes, it's made in China, I don't like that any more than any one else, but I think after a few mods, I can forgive it's birthplace. It rides great, I can't believe how many people stopped me to ask about it or just admire it.
New wheels, tires, center stand, and a Nexus 3 rear hub.
No hate from me, out of all the new bikes in the same price range that is the one I would buy !
The upgrades look great by the way, ride the wheels off of it !
