Great Ride!
By S. Ashdhir
Now had the bike for almost a month and been using it almost daily for some exercise. The bike is very light. After initial assembly took it for shifter adjustment at REI and now the ride is great!

Great for the price
By Peter G
This bike has nice mid-tier Shimano components a compact crank & a carbon fork. The only drawback is that you should really take it to a local bike shop & pay for a professional build (unless of course you have the bike mechanical skills yourself) All in all it really is a GREAT value.

OK for chinese
By Michael W. Head
Bike is OK, light with nice hardwre, front deraller was inoperable out of the box and the front fork couldn't be tightened (stripped). If it were in working order it be a real nice bike.
