looks horrible!!!

Firstly the seat is so high you're using a wheel a lot smaller than you could be otherwise. Also any brake on the front wheel doesn't inspire confidence for safety, especially something as powerful as a disc brake, considering you can do a header with a spoon brake. Pneumatic tyres may be comfortable, but don't get a puncture. Don't get me started about the paint job..........

The designer obviously didn't take into account of the effect of cross wind. :roll:
