Cool Look, Smooth Ride, Great Price
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 26, 2016I love this bike. It meets all expectations I had going in. The ride is smooth, the power is no more and no less than should be expected from a 745cc. I will say that the shocks are a little stiff and you will come off the seat on bumps at higher speeds. However, knowing that I adjust for it, ... so it's not an issue with me.
The price and quality of this bike is superb. I have no regrets about buying this bike and would buy again if I was doing it over.

Great city bike
By (I am an Owner) on Feb 17, 2016It's a great bike for the price and people are shocked at how little I paid for it. It looks great and gets a lot of attention.
I am having some shifting issues (popping out of gear) and the rear shocks are too stiff. I've actually been thrown up from my seat a good 4-5 inches after ... hitting rough patches on SF's streets.
The bike is low, which is good and bad. At 5'8" I prefer a lower saddle, but it also means the pegs scrape more often and I think it's one reason the shocks are so stiff.
Despite it's problems, it's great for riding around the city. It has decent power off the line and maneuvers fairly well. For the price, it's a great deal and looks great.
