It could be a Murray or Huffy stock gaspipe plumber's dream. Gold plated shithouse tubing. Only in America! Love those high class Taiwan / Chinese bladed fast stopping CPSC approved brakes. It even comes with a tight link so you can count RPM's. Wouldn't want to weigh it down with a computer. You notice the plate on the back. That's a high speed foiler meant to lift the back wheel at higher speeds so less road friction and drag will allow for top end sprinting when being led out by the team. The plating is part of the masterful wind tunnel engineering to cut down on drag with the smooth finish so the wind doesn't catch in the pores of the surface. I could go on but then I couldn't sleep tonite knowing that I can't possibly obtain one of the 10 and finalize my comeback. It is the bike you know. Teed Ernst Palos Verdes Estates, CA
