I like the multiple references to it being over engineered. I'd bet my
last two dollars not one minute of time or one dollar was spent on
engineering.

I couldn't imagine what that thing would be like to ride.

 




It surely was engineered.
If not it might have been 13'7" and not turn like a 13 1/2 foot bike.

blows up of course.   ;-)

 



Lordy, that's a perfect bike for p.jm. Right price too. Don't suppose it
will explode when rear ended? That would be another exciting plus.
