* Awesome looking special edition lightning paint on the frame

Doesn't seem to have rack mounts or be possible to put a Klick Fix mount on
the handlebars. It'l lalso be quite hard to fit mudguards and the child
seat.

about 4/10 from my perspective. You can keep it.

It's one of those strange upwrong contraptions. Not my kind of thing
at all.

Probably adequate for its designed use, but I wouldn't have much use for
it. With that low saddle and only one hand position, I'd be dying by
the time I got only 20 miles into my ride, and the rest of the time
would be pure misery.

I'd have to launch off a lot of stairs and hit a lot of dirt jumps to even
*get* to 20 miles on this bike in one ride! 🙂

Looks alright. Too many gears for that sort of bike, IMO.

Yeah, 20 miles of BMXing or freeriding would be a loooooooong ride!

Where's da fuse? How can there be an Earth-shattering kaboom if
there's no fuse?

Nice; I certainly wouldn't complain if it showed up under my tree, but
I could be just as happy at a significantly lower cost. But then, I'm
a cheap [censored] who shops for bikes at thrift stores, police auctions
and garage sales. (And I rather like doing it.)

But on second look, I'd have to put a relly long seat post on it, and
fudge the bars up about 6 inches, before I could ride it very far.
OTOH, list the frame on eBay and transfer the kit to one of the old
large frames in the roof of the garage, and I'd have a good bike and
some pocket money too.

This guy's probably getting pretty aggravated that we're all running
down his new ride. Oh, well.... <Grin>

Not really my sort of thing, but one thing stands out as a very
serious problem: you haven't got any mud on it yet! To hell with
the "awesome paintwork", go and get it covered in [censored] and have fun
on it! ;-)

Looks like fun to me. Nice paintwork. What's it like to ride?

A good illustration of how one man's meal is another man's
poison.
Street?
It's entirely black, and has no reflectors anywhere. No
generator. No rack. Aggressive knobbies.

On the other hand, you probably wouldn't be happy with my
bikes, either. Enjoy!

Pink tassels and a Walt Disney "Tinker"bell?

I agree with an earlier poster. This bike would look a lot
better with some scratches and mud streaks on it (only a
matter of time if ridden enjoyably).

I don't understand the appeal of a black off-road bike,
though. Don't they have deer hunting season over there?
