Reviews:

Bought this bicycle for my girlfriend who is 5'4" tall. The same bicycle at Sears is $522.00, so getting one through Amazon was a significant savings. It is a large bicycle, but is highly adjustable for a wide range of riders. After assembling myself and adjusting both the chain derailleurs (Front and rear) and the brakes, I headed out for a test ride. I truly love this bike! It has the comfort of a cruiser with the speed of a road bike. 

The spring loaded seat post and front suspension work nice to make a smooth ride, but these too like the everything else on the bike needed to be lubricated to get them working to perfection. Aside from the bike coming from the factory with little to no lubrication on many of the moving parts, my one "peeve" about the bike is that it's a bit heavy. 

Not terribly so, but it is noticeable after riding my lightweight road bike. Upon testing the frame with a magnet, it is certainly a steel frame and not aluminum as advertised. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5. BTW, she loves the bike more and more after having ridden it now for about a week. So there you go. By Thomas

Reviews:

I haven't ridden a bike in twenty years. Wanting to improve my fitness I purchased this bike from Amazon. It arrived in 2 days (via Prime), and I had the bike together and ready to ride within about an hour. I had to fiddle with the brake adjustment a little to make them work to my preference, but that was a fairly simple task. The assembly was so easy, in fact, that my biggest complaint was getting the right side pedal to thread (the threads were very, very tight and it was not easy to tell whether the fit was snug or whether there was cross-threading going on. But that was certainly not a big deal - maybe about 5 minutes of starting, stopping, restarting, stopping and so forth.

I am just under six feet tall and the 19" frame is still ever so slightly large for me, but it fits me well, otherwise. I've ridden for about twenty miles thus far (the bike just arrived two days ago) and I find it comfortable, and extremely well built.

The only problem (if you can call it that) was that the rear reflector that came with the bike doesn't seem to mount anywhere properly. I think they sent me one made for a different bike. Not a big deal; just a minor annoyance. I cheap generic obtained from the local bike shop did the trick.

Overall, I love the bike and am happy I made the purchase. No regrets!. By Mad Biker
