This Framed bike is intriguing. Aside from being on sale for $1000 off, I just keep imagining how light it would be. They have it marketed as a step through "adventure" bike, but they used to sell it as a MTB with suspension fork and 3 inch wide tires. What do you people think about it? Looks like a bike you could really rip on.

They used to sell it set up like this:

It doesn’t look like something I would want to rip on...head angle looks pretty steep to me. Step through mountain bike is interesting, who is the target market?

It looks great with the suspension fork and like it was in a bad wreck with the rigid fork. The proportions are all wrong. Needs a rigid fork to match the length of the suspension fork.
