How can I be a poser if I'm actually riding though? What am I posing as?

I believe that hub is an Odyssey V2 clone. Correct me if I'm wrong. So in otherwords, it should be good.

Not saying it's not cause I've never rode one, but do you mean clone or look-a-like or tried to copy and failed miserably. What I mean is the materials may not be the same. The design may be but maybe that is all?

I dunno just sayin'.

I believe it's actually a clone, as in exactly the same. It may have different grades of aluminum or something but other than that, I'm pretty sure there aren't any differences.

Ride it 'til it breaks, then get something else. For about the same price you can get this.

Yeah, Raleigh doesn't make BMX bikes anyways. The Raleighs compared to Specialized under $1000 USD actually spec' out better and have better prices.... trust me, I'd know Cool
