If you bought it a year ago you should know by now if it was a good purchase or not. I have a 1989 or so Diamondback with no absorbers and I will not sell it for 400 bucks and that is more than I paid for it. On the road, with knobby tires and shocks it will not do that well, that is what you...

I have never done but wife here says she did and was a lot of fun. I may try and do it for the next Xmas parade.
