Didn't Lisa Sher ride for them before her days with Foes? Talk about a flea riding an elephant. Lesson learned, one size does not fit all. My husband rode a Rotec for a couple of years in the late 90's because at just over 6'4" it was one of the only bikes that was big enough to fit him. Those suckers were HUGE!! After breaking it twice, he moved on to a Schwinn Straight 8.the better question would have been was it worth to have to endure the Rotec's of 97!
