don't for get cheap rims as well ...looks like the frame is the only thing worth any thing ...drop about 500-600 in to all top end parts from top to bottom then it could be a nice ride
well that can happen on even the most expensive frame out there ..but i don't think it would though ..cause Eastern makes some good strong stuff at decent prices ..my friend rides for Eastern and trust me there not as bad as you think ....i even ride on some eastern parts but mostly i use Shadow Conspiracy parts were it matters the most..
ya i just took a better look at the BB ..over sized lol..yep Junk all round ...personally i take a match to that and build the new 2011 We The People Envy street Bike..that could be a light ride done right ..stock it weighs 23.8 lbs..custom built i'm sure it can be built under 20lbs for sure
