It's pretty rad. A 44t chainring up front gives a decent range for Florida cruisin', and I've got the rear mech connected to a Schwinn stem shifter also pulled from the Box o' Crap. The bottom bracket is crazy high, so it really feels like riding a jacked-up truck. A proper photo shoot will follow when I get everything installed.
I don't see the "Made with Box of Crap Parts" sticker.
