Manufacturers of cheap bikes have long tried to make their bikes look like pricer stuff--at least, to those who aren't so knowledgeable or discerning. That's why about half of the new bikes you see today are finished in some combination of black, white and red geometric whooshes and slashes.
But how do you make a cheap bike sound like a high-quality velocipede--especially when said HQV is named for a racing legend?
It seems that the company behind this bicycle-shaped object did just that.
Or am I the only one who thinks the name is intended to rhyme with Mercx?
You have to just love what's on the bike's top tube:
I saw the Meirx parked on Broadway yesterday morning during a pre-work bagel run.
