that's the thing, when people see the Gary Fisher, they see it as a "racing" bike purely on the look, to the joe public it look like the sort of bike you'll need to wear lyrica with.
whether the Plug look like it's the sort of bike that you can jump on and cycle away, purely on appearance only.
I know a friend who doesn't care about bicycle like we do, just to get to work and/or go shopping with, he picked the charge plug because it look like the sort of bike that does the job, I asked him why he didn't get the Specialized Langster, and his reasoning is that he didn't want a 'racing' bike.
I have a look at the Schwinn Cutter, it look pretty shit with inferior componentry, but I can defintely see it's being enough for the joe public as an everyday bike.
