Scary.

I like the 3 pics of the brake lever and none of the drivetrain.

I wonder if it's really CF.

The der model # sounds like the Altus series. It's almost
economically feasible to buy this thing for parts to rebuild
an entry level mtb on a decent used frameset and then throw
away this frame.

You can get a Altus equipped Schwinn in Walmart for about $100 less, and
you may even decided to keep the frame.

Yeah, but I'm counting on the alloy wheels being worth $50
for the pair. Aren't they the useless steel stamped variety
on the Wal-Mart cheapie?

Recumbents are the only bicycles with seats.
Trials bikes don't need saddles unless it's stated in the rules.
