Hey, Rick!

Remember in 1996 that huge national discount house consignment of Huffy "mountain" bikes? These places were convinced that they knew how a bike should be built and that they could assemble it as well. I shudder to think about the injuries/lawsuits that caused the nationwide recall of these barely-streetworthy "off-road" bikes.

It seems that Huffy had decided to save money by equipping these bikes with plastic brake levers!!

I wonder what Jin Bao might agree to sacrifice in order to meet the demands of a Wal-Mart or K-Mart rep waving a fat contract under their noses . . .
