that wrap job jumped out at me too...the rest was just meh...I'm a believer now!

I got the Square wheel model at hefty discount.

As long as I ride it on the correct roads, everything's fine.

I'm a big fan of the Combass anti-stab tires, the wheels (Circle brand, #1, very auspicious), mounting of handlebars and of course, aggressive decal work. Wow, just wow.

Looks to be about $170 USD.

And the total value of the minerals that make up the human body is about $1, so that bike is worth many times more than any of us losers on this forum.

Shame on us for making fun of it.

It's the understated paintjob that clinched it for me. Where's my credit card?

Just looking at the bike stresses me out. I have never had that happen with a bicycle before.
