Provenance — why we believe each fact

Warnings

• info brake-actuation-unstated — The spec table says "Disc" without saying whether the disc brake is hydraulic or mechanical. Recorded as unknown; the two are not interchangeable to a buyer.
• info mixed-groupset — Not a uniform groupset: {"rearDerailleur":"Acera","frontDerailleur":"Tourney","crank":"Tourney"}. Ranked on the shifting level, with a penalty.
