I disagree with that comment. The Pacific Coast Chopper is
very similar to a highway bicycle (re***bent). Kids are riding them.
It isn't a diamond frame bicycle that holds the world land speed
record.
Granted, the PCC is taken from a motorcycle style but the
configuration
is very similar to a highway* bicycle (re***bent).
