That particular companys' bicycles are dangerous junk....look good, built bad. Cracking frames, bad welds ect....beware of putting an engine kit on one.

I,ve read the post, but it seems that its just one guy who has had problems.Am I right?

They don't quite look the same and I haven't tried a chopper from them, but do have a cruiser and it's a decent low end bike. the only bad thing I would have to say is the one piece cranks on it were pretty weak "broke them about 2 weeks in". The frame seems solid enough.

I built this Macargi GT. It has some pretty good looking welds on it, and I haven't noticed any cracks yet. Maybe the Chinese boy that welded it up was over 8 years old.

Jeff, That bike looks like it is a good 6 to 8 inches longer between the front down tube and the seat post tube, the the regular 20" OCC. Our bikes are only 8" long there.

here's the specs for that bike, they have a link towards the bottom of original page.

Here's also a cheaper place for the prado, no idea how the customer service is.

Chopper Beach Cruisers - 2 Wheel Bikes - Beach Cruisers, Mountain Bikes, Tandem Bikes, Children's Bikes

Edit: you might also just call them, it appears they have varying sizes for some of those choppers, so they may just have a bigger one or be able to order one if that's what you are after.
