I have 2 sitting in my shed right now on the floor

They're good to park your bikes upright without a kickstand :wink:

I never realized that the racks that the bikes sit in slid out for easy viewing.

Couple pics I've been meaning to post:

One local Wal-Mart was blowing out the sidehacks they had in stock for $150. Hard to tell what they are in the pic with all the grills in the background. They're cool looking, but I have no idea what I'd do with one. Maybe if they get down to $75.

There is now a multi-speed version of the Onyx bike for $179. The only one I have seen so far looks like bare aluminum.

If they came out with an Onyx 3 or 5 speed with an internal geared hub with coaster, then I'd be interested.

The Nexus 7 coaster is a nice compliment to this bike. All in weight of under 30lb for a bike rolling on 28x2.35 big apples does make a great ride.

I like the 29", but do not like the "V" style rims.

The deep V rims need to go..It would just cost way too much to make that bike like I'd want...

New 29er similar to the Onyx by Genesis, $149:

Flat Black Schwinn Cruiser did not have a price yet:

Schwinn Cruiser with rack for $129

Interesting looking Mongoose single-speed (not a fixie, if it was I'd buy it) for $149. Interesting bar treatment:

Also, it appears the short-lived partnership with DK BMX Bicycles is done with. Out of 150 bikes or so, I spied one lone DK General Lee. All others were gone. I can't believe they would sell out of them, wonder if they sent them back?

It's bad enough when they put the spokes on backwards, but now they are putting handlebars upside down??? Silly Walmart guys!

Spokes on backwards!?

I gotta see that. :shock:

Those are triple wall deep V 48 spoke rims. I have a hunch the rat rodders of the next century will be thinking of them like S7... A little heavy but with a durability that his hard to imagine in our time.

thanks man! I'm just getting into bikes. I've been building ratrod motorcycles for a while, but this bike thing is a lot cheaper!!

This is my OP cruiser that my 3 daughters got me for my birthday last year... I know the OP is not the greatest of bikes, but the mere fact that my girls got it for me dictates that it will be a keeper
