It's a $150 bike that's priced at $350 because it has a belt drive.

Go do it. We need diversity on the streets and people enjoy looking down on others.

Fork and wheelset are terrible.

Also, why ghost bike it up from some fixed gear fashion serial murderers?

I don't think riding a fixed gear in such an upright position would be fun, you would really have to launch yourself forwards to unweight the back wheel. It has a flipflop hub (I assume), so I guess you could just roll on the 1speed side, but then you just have a really expensive cruiser.

Sure, I'll spoonfeed you.

He doesn't like the white color since ghost bikes are painted white.

If you don't know what a ghost bike is, it's a form of a memorial to a cyclist that got killed in that area.

Is that some US specific meme, because here Ghost is a bicycle brand.

Go for it, make your experience, report back here, and if you don't like it sell it again. Simple as that.

that's a good thing, it means the car traffic in your city isn't a bunch of shitheads. In my city, I can name the location of 4 ghost bikes off the top of my head but I've seen way more than 4.

I was a different anon not part of the argument you were engaged in but I'm backing the other anon because as far as I know ghost bikes are a universal thing. There's even support groups in Europe who build, donate, and memorialize ghost bikes for families who lost loved ones in cycling accidents.

what is with this fucking belt drive meme

imagine having to fucking replace your belt every time you changed gear sets on a single speed.

Repeat after me: there is nothing wrong with a chain.
