I ride this because i inherited it and so far LOVE the bike. Never really knew much about them because i never looked for them, reason being no money to afford my own bike. So far i have treated this one like a princess and done everything i can to make it as prestine as possible. I have put about a hundres miles on it thus far, (in two days) and dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon!!!!
