I kinda feel like the length is not in proportion to the height.

That bike speaks to me. And I think it is telling me it wants to hit big jumps and slide around in the dirt.

Just add a basket and it will pay off in many health improvement dividends using as a cruiser to pickup and deliver goods like adult beverages and foodies

Nothing wrong with the word 'hate' as it refer to a matter of taste. Like nattō, I love that stuff while others find it disgusting.
