Customer Reviews

stay away2
Yes the pricing on this bike for an entry level road bike looks tempting, but honestly you get what you pay for. The bike looks all shiny with stickers and such but after months on the bike it starts to fall apart HARD. as the other reviewers have mentioned brakes on this bike is terrible, but thats the least of your worries. i think the biggest problem on this bike is just poor build quality. everything will eventually break whether it be your seat, handlebars, or the craptastic gear system. also the rims on this bicycles are perfectly designed to puncture your inner tube so get ready to patch and replace the inner tubing often. To sum things up, beautiful bike terrible quality. stay far and clear.

This is a great entry level bicycle. I knew next to nothing about bicycles but was in a position where I needed a bicycle to take me to work every day (two miles) and school every other day (eight miles).
This bike arrives pre-assembled (for the most part) but be prepared to adjust several functions; such as: the brakes, the crankset, and the chain guard. I spent hours tightening and loosening my chain guard because it was rubbing on my chain, making an awful sound and a vibration I could feel all the way through the bike. I got it to where I can have a decent range of gears, but not what I expected.
Also, this comes with somewhat flimsy schrader tubes. I suggest investing in an immediate conversion to presta tubes and buying spares.
All around a great entry level road bike; it just needs a little love.
Enjoy.

Overall decent, but skimps on quality parts3
The bike is fine, and I ride it often. It comes with cheap tires and no tube strips inside the wheels. After I got that taken care of, I quit getting flats. Now I can ride and its fine.
I called the service line provided and they referred me to someone's email address to get help with the parts / service. I RECIEVED NO RESPONSE.
The bike is great other than that. Grip shifters on a road bike is a little weird, but they work well. The handlebar grips were not wrapped very vell, but that is a no bid deal.
Bottom line: good value but expect cut corners
