If you look on Amazon, they get average ratings in the "4" (of 5) from buyers that don't seem to care about quality.
Our production cost is in that price range, so the bike will not be. I am tentatively looking at $2,100.00. Handlebars are very to swap, so we could make other styles available as an option.

I agree with you on the fatties, they are not my cup of tea...and they tend to weigh a TON.
