Hehe just stumbled upon this thread. Wouldn't it be awful if the bike turned out to be OK?
Skully don't agree with you about the skateboard. Yes it's shite but if all you're doing is learning how to tick tack then its fit for purpose. I had a complete PoS banana board when I was 3 but loved it so much. It was only after 10 years of skating complete pieces of shit (e.g. varnished plank of wood my dad bolted my trucks to when the banana board died) that I bought my first pro deck (Santa Cruz Steve Alba FYI). Even then it still had Variflex trucks. It was only after I'd progressed enough - and stuck with skating enough - to justify the expense on a 'professional' model. The 10 years of riding pieces of shit made getting the real deal all the better.
