A typical comment from someone who knows nothing about bikes and has never purchased from the company he is denigrating. The same construction techniques that go into manufacturing MTB frames (mostly TIG) and cruisers are identical. The bikes that I received were welded well and very straight from the standpoint of symmetry. My friends with BD MTB's found them priced well especially considering the components and they were durable.
