Does anyone know anything about these 10 speeds I see that look like a cross between a moto-cross childs bike and a 10 speed racer. I am in the market for a new bike and would like a strong bike capable of surviving potholes curbs and off road excursions. The bikes I have seen have 25 inch wheels with knobs on them and caliper brakes. The frame and forks were chrome plated and the bars had a cross brace. Are these bikes for real or are they jokes? Any info on prices, and personal experience would be appreciated. ty seismo!tiberio tiberio @ seismo.ARPA ps. I have worked on bikes since I was knee high to a grass hopper (I still remember my father teaching me how to true a wheel using the spoke tension). I have worked in bike shops from Boston to Portland ( I once built a special bike for a member of the Portland Trailblazers). I sold my bike in 1978 and have had little desire to pedal until now.
