What do people say
I have had this bike since 2008 and I get stopped and am given compliments on it all the time. I have been told it is a great fit. It runs great. I exchanged the tires for commuter tires for about 20 dollars, and I ride it on average 8-16 miles per day. I also exchanged the seat for something a little more comfortable for really long rides. The seat that comes with it is perfect for the average rider. It comes with a release gear so no tools are needed to adjust the seat height. The assembly is easy for someone who can follow directions.Read a full review.
The light blue one (smooth lines, #S2753) is more like a size LARGE with frame size 19″ (seat tube length 19″, horizontal top tube is approx. 22 1/2″). Surprisingly it has the same geometry as the male version (also 19″). An average man is taller than an average woman – thus the men’s bike should be bigger, right?
The silver/purple bike (sharp lines, #S2699) is a MEDIUM size with 17″ frame (seat tube length 17″, horizontal top tube is also approx. 22 1/2″ but because of the head angle the wheels itself are about 1″ closer to each other than wheels of the light blue model – beware if you have long feet). The male version of this model has 18″ frame.
As for my best judgement – I would recommend the light blue bike to a woman 5’3″ to 5’11″ tall with inseam 28-32″ and the silver/purple bike to a woman 5’0″ to 5’8″tall with 26-30″ inseam.
I am 5’9 1/2″ tall and the light blue model fits me great. Read a full review.
It’s actually very light. They must use a different aluminum in this one then their other bikes carried by Wal-Mart cause those were all a bit heavier. It’s an easy bike to lift up on my roof racks.
- Welds are perfect on the frame and elsewhere.
- The pre-assembled parts were for the most part done right and tight
- Nice light aluminum rims
- Once tuned-up, the v-brakes are strong
- COMES with a water bottle
- Knobby tires are decent quality
- Shimano rear derailleur is not the best but not bad either
- Plenty of documentation on how to adjust everything (the v-brakes needed some Googling though)
- Very well packaged Read a full review.
