It's got a flip-flop hub so I ride both. I ride for funsies and for fitness so it depends on my mood.
What is eww about it? Just curious. The camera may not have accurately captured the color either due to the weather. It is called "chalk white" but is more like a light grey. I notice now that the picture makes the frame look light blue. THAT would be yuck.
It wasn't the color I originally wanted but I got it for $369 w/tax when the price is usually close to $600 w/tax.
Definitely wasn't going to pay $800+ for the bikes I REALLY liked.
I also have a Trek 7.3FX and a Haro Fusion Group One Race BMX
I wasn't into the "pretty fixies" but wanted something I could do both with and could still take a beating on the occasional dirt path and jump around the 'hood.
I love riding, it's so much fun and has helped me lose 32.4lbs so far. I ride because I get a rush and I LOVE riding this bike more than any of my others, fixed or ss.
I have also added the DECO seat that is pictured and some black bar ends--it had a white seat and chrome bar ends, barf.
