Has anyone seen that Puma commercial where everything is white except the shoes? At the very end the guy gets on a bike, and it looks GIGANTIC!
anyone know what it is?

Puma Commercial Bike?
- Thread starter BigMike
- Start date
Puma is selling an "urban commuter bike". While it has a few cool features it is a basically a big old steamer out in the middle of a dirt field.
We were asked to build a few for the Puma store down the street. Rear wheel setup is funky. Parts are POS's. The gearing is insane for any place with hills (something like a 44/15) and the geometry is wacked.
And it sells for approx $8-900. Supposedly they sold the snot out of them, so they must be marketing it well. In all honesty the frame construction is quite good. However it is clear that whoever designed it doesn't really ride a bike.
On the plus side it does come in black.
Oh and did I mention it was heavy?
