DO NOT buy one of these piece of crap bikes. I got one and the pedal fell off within half an hour of riding. I'm not riding it any harder than my 30 year old Dutch bike - and already the wheels are really buckled and the chain is stretched so much it's made my 30 min journey to work a 40 min journey with having to stop and put the chain back on so much.
Also it rusted all over the "chrome" parts within 2 weeks.
Usually I'd say you get what you pay for - but here I think I've gotten even less.
If you want a cool looking 'retro' orange bike with white tyres - just build one yourself. Or get someone to do it for you. Yes it will cost you more, but in the end you will have to spend that extra money on replacing all the bits which fall off. And it will make you really angry every time something new goes wrong with it.
And to boot - I can't enjoy my old Silver Sun records any more because I'm so pissed off.
