Military Spec. Aluminum 7005 Series Front and Rear Triangle... WTF makes it military spec. And whose military are we talking about, if its Canada's military this bike will never make it out of the box.

Jeep bike a bit too heavy for you? Too many alloys? Try the new Hummer bike!
A mere 29lbs*, the Hummer folds up so you can, um, fold it up if you want to. Only 5 alloys! This gives a alloy to price ratio of $149.80!
One can be yours now for only 749 of your US Dollar! Don't delay! Call today!
It's still a stupid ass behemoth of a vehicle for top posting morons.

Everyone shouldn't laugh, and if you were more experienced in the sport you might realize these bikes are used by OUR military, as featured in Bicycling Mag. Check this:
natick.army.milbikes.htmOpen ↗ "On October 30 engineers from SSCOM's Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center (NRDEC) conducted a preliminary evaluation of mountain bikes for military application at Ashland State Forest." [this appears to be from Nov. 1995]
"NRDEC is evaluating two mountain bikes, the Montague mountain bike and the Hanebrink Extreme Terrain Bike. " [other snippage]

If the US military really did buy those Montague folding bikes like they say on militarybikes.commilitarybikes.comOpen ↗, then I'll be the first Canadian into Iraq because that POS is going to need a good Canadian mechanic and a MIG welder to make it to Baghdad. -- _________________________ Chris Phillipo - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia ramsays-online.comramsays-online.comOpen ↗

"Tactical", huh? I suppose if you had enough strength to throw it at someone, it could be so described.....
See if you fold it the other way, it's a mortar launcher. -- _________________________ Chris Phillipo - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia ramsays-online.comramsays-online.comOpen ↗

And I saw one of them this week in my shop. Decked out int he latest RST fork and Shimano Altus components. The owner said he's on his 3rd quick release skewer (the one that holds the bike together). I wouldn't spend money on one of these, if I got one free as part of my "military education" then I might keep it...in the trunk.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but it really isn't that bad a deal! One would think the name alone would jack the price up to $1500 or so...

It's 'only' $750 because it's not a real Humvee. If it was, it would weigh 300 pounds, have downhill tires, no big chainring, and, as a result, require an unnecessarily vast amount of food and energy bars to ride on the sidewalk. /s
