    Ball-Buster must have been trademarked already.

    Hernia, the athletic bicycle for middle aged males is another popular item.

    Considering the build quality of Pacific Cycles’ products, you should count yourself lucky if all you get is a rupture. The things are dangerous crap.

    I certainly avoided all their offerings when bike shopping myself. I even spurned Fuji, which some people will put in a good word for.
