Customer Reviews

Great Bike5
This is my first time writing a review. I purchased this bike a few days ago and can't be more pleased with the purchase. I took it on about an 8 mile ride (had to break it in). I wasn't sure what I was getting into having previously only owned mountain bikes. I love the flat bar system, being that I am a pretty big guy (I'm about 5'10" and 240lbs) I know I wouldn't like the standard road bike handle bars. The 700c tires get you up to speed effortlessly. I was riding with a good friend of mine who owns a mountain bike (I let him ride it and it convinced him into buying a road bike). Riding downhill was a thrill no need to pedal just let the tires do all the work. I bought the bike wanting to get into a new hobby and also getting back into shape after having knee surgery and gaining about 40lbs. I would recommend taking it to your local bike shop to get a tune up, averages about $40. The only negative I can think of is while I was riding I noticed the chain would rub in certain gears. Having looked and shopped around online and at the local bike shops this bike was definitely worth every cent. Overall, the bike was a great buy for the money, very durable, very comfortable, and very fun!!!

good quality with bad seat3
This is good bike with good quality. The worst thing I hate is the seat. very badly designed. You can't even go for 2 miles with comfort. The gears does'nt work from 3 to 2. This is very light bike with easy ride. I have tried for 4 time it will be good once I get better seat. I would recommend it.

excellent bike5
wow, what a great road bike. I purchased this bike just a few weeks ago for an alternative way to get to work since my transmission went out on my car and I couldnt afford to fix it or buy a new car. Easy to assemble and I have no prior bike experience. I'm 28 years old and haven't owned a bike since I was about 13 years old. I can't reaally compare this to others but I can say this that this bike is extremely light weight at about 42 pounds with thin tires to pick up speed quickly. I absolutely love this bike and the gears are easy to change and the bike handles the road very well but the schock's aren't the greatest and you will feel every bump on the road. the only thing I could recommend to replace from day one is the seat. The seat is hard as a rock and after a few miles your butt will feel like its on fire. Other than that this bike is great for the road, bike trails, or commuting to work just replace the seat. All in all I give this bike two thumbs up and highly recommend it.
