Could you possibly be any more ghetto?

That thing reminds me of those Mexicanized "low rider" bikes you see rolling around the inner-city of suburbs.

I like em but I would stretch the frame a bit more and chop the downtube a bit.

When your 6'+ those bikes just don't fit. I rode one around for a bit and got all kinds of ideas for how to mod it to my tastes. The back rim and tires are the money shot though and are really hard to get ahold of without buying the whole bike....a friend and I have been looking for them and they don't sell them seperately

the geometry of that bike makes it look like it would be VERY uncomfortable to ride. Youre weight is not even close to being over the pedals, and theres no back rest. looks like a pain in the ass of an AB workout. 'specially if you have to ride up hills.
