Don't know why. I'm sure there are folks out there who would find it a
perfect solution to their biking needs.


No, not really. It has huge wheels, but it's really about the same
"one size" as other beach cruisers. Plus, though its frame shows
acceptable workmanship, its components are distinctly crappy. If the
wheels were regular size, it would cost not more than $150 at a bike
shop.

With a good pair of rims from Unicycle.com ($180) and some quality BMX
hubs, cranks, stem, and bars ($250+), It would be an OK bike. But it
still wouldn't fit unusually large folks.
