Ah, I'm beginning to understand. It all makes sense.
What I have is a cheap copy of a mini stunt bicycle. You see, although some parts are wonderfully solid, others aren't, so much so that I'm unsure whether it is safe for the 5 year old downstairs to ride.
The suspension doesn't actually work. The stem bent like made of butter on just one bunnyhop. The gear ratio is so small that when I did my work coffeeshop run on this thing, even thought I was pedaling like a lunatic (quite literally, I suppose), pedestrians were overtaking me with very curious faces on them indeed.
The one on ebay actually looks quite nice.
