I bought one of these in 2001, when I lived in Hawaii. I still have it. But, I live in Virginia now. I have a red model. I upgraded the cheapo plasic seat with a nice schwinn springer cruiser seat. I also put larger bmx pedals on it as well as new handlebar grips and an awesome red skull bell. This thing is bombproof. Maybe it's because I have an older model. I have bunny hopped it, tried to jump, and crashed on it so many times, but still had plenty of fun. It still gets plenty of use at afterparties, where people bomb down the street on it, giving random people high fives. The tires are still pretty solid considering how much the bike has been ridden over the past 10 years. I wouldn't sell this thing if it was the last bike on earth and you wanted to trade me the last woman on earth for it.
