This is a badass bike. Cross between that old BMX you used to love, a light single speed mountain bike and a cruiser (because of the coaster brake) Gear ratio is great for haulin ass around town or even light climbing. This bike is a blast to ride. Only adjustments I've made are adding a BMX stem and hadlebars for a more upright ride.
