Good input and i very much agree with you,
and i have ridden one, and i don't really see all the crap that people say happens to them, like the chain flying off etc.
They're pretty good for what you pay for it but i can say alot of the price comes from what it looks like, and i must say they do look good.
also they may have improved the cheaper components that had been on the Unipack 1.0.
I'd duck if I were you ;)
