Is that really a $62 bike?

I'd weld the fork because that suspension is going to be junk. Heck, I'd probably weld everything into place once you set it.

I was given a bike-shaped-object once, and it technically moved when pedaled, but everything about it was garbage.

I've often wondered if it really does cost 100x more to make a bike 2x better.
