Kid, I respect you a lot, you bought a bike at a low price and built it up to withstand good abuse. Props to that.

Uh no.. no Magic Link at all on that bike, not even a similar concept, nothing.

It's just a cheap pressed steel linkage, not worth buying.

Why do you say potential of this bike? You aren't riding that bike. You said you built it up and replaced the parts, its not the same bike so obviously its going to ride different. When you replace all the parts of the bike except the frame its not the same bike.

Canadian Tire bikes can be made to look boss...
I have a schwinn for god sakes and do you have any idea how many people ask me if its a Kona, because i bought a pair of new Kona Jacksh*t flatpedals and upgraded the shit out of it.

I also own a Kranked progression, i replaced the rear shock with a Manitou Swinger 4way, and the front with Manitou XVert T dual crowns, and some hosselfelt bars/stem.

Lets not judge, any bike can be beautiful, you just have to find the right setup.

It really doesn't matter what it's made out of if the geo is whack, and the build quality is crap.
