I'm six foot tall and about 160. I'll check closer into the Roadmaster
when I go back to the department store and make my decision then.

One more question, does the Roadmaster have holes where a bike rack can
be attached easily? I know the Schwinn Sidewinder does.


Dear PBS,

Unlike the shabby sort of incomplete bicycle that Lance
Armstrong is forced to ride by contract, the Fury Roadmaster
offers small flanges with four holes above the rear dropout,
two on either side, presumably for a rack that may well be
available at WalMart.

I also note a pair of bolts on the down-tube for attaching a
water-bottle frame.

Since I ride solely for pleasure (not sordid commercial gain
like Lance), I have no idea how the rest of the rack
attaches. Possibly around the seat post?

Much as it pains me to say so, you should give Ron Hardin's
Huffy recommendation serious consideration, since he's
tested the thing for years in actual commuting and an
impressive 48,000 miles, instead of stripping off its
water-bottle frame, sidestand, and reflectors and then
forcing it to roll a mere four miles per day through a park
for about nine months.
