    No GM employee discount on this. Damn you Obama Motors!

    A bicycle with a gas guzzler name. Bit of an oxymoron.

    MPG for fat must be excellent on this.

    Those look like regular rims. How much for the Bling rims?

    How about the DVD Entertainment System?

    someone call them, ask them how much an assembled bike weighs, and how much pressure these tires can take/width of tires

    #5, the tires are 32c width, which is pretty darn wide - almost like a 1" MTB slick instead of a road tire. Just one of the many reasons this bike is less like a road bike and more like a crappy 29er with drop bars and slicks. I assume the tires are at least rated to 50 PSI, which is more than enough for cruising around.

    The big problems with this bike are the components - cheap, rust easily, no durability (especially the rims). You're gonna pay to maintain this bike.

    I knew GMC was downsizing. But to go from a fullsize SUV to a road bike is pretty drastic.

    Uhh, #6, a 1" MTB slick IS A ROAD TIRE. It's actually not such a good idea in the snow belt, given the state of our roads today, to get a bike with the narrowest tires possible because this is certainly not a racing tier bike, it's for the average dumb'sumer.

    Besides the rims being prone to bending, the rest of the hardware won't be especially likely to break because it is a road bike. The brakes won't stop worth a crap, especially if they get wet, so your hospital bills may be the expensive part but anyone competent at bicycle maintenance shouldn't have a hard time with things like the base level 21 speed shimano drivetrain and other components, even the $80 walmart specials hold up if you keep them on paved roads (except for the rims and shifters).

    #8, don't be a douche. I meant "road bike tire." I'd be more entertained if you had half of the bike knowledge I do. Go read a Zinn's and then get back to me.

    Good talk.
