I have one of those bikes....i liked the colour and wanted coaster brakes. but OMG i have replaced every single component on the bike since April, all the parts are cheap CHEAP, the back wheels went first kept buckling, peddles fell apart, chain stretched, crank and bracket died and hub had to be replaced! I should have just dumped the bike but had already spent money getting the wheel rebuilt, also the tyres cracked as they only go up to 35psi! so now the only original feature is the orange frame!
It now works like a dream with decent parts!!!
if you plan to cycle further than the shops DO NOT BUY AN OLD SKOOL HOOLIGAN BIKE!!!!!!!
