5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised on the upside, December 24, 2006

I ordered two bikes to give for Christmas, both for adult women, both at around $100. I assembled both of them. The other one was a Kulani 7-speed cruiser. This one, the Columbia, right out of the box was far superior. Unlike the Kulani, this one had no scratches, all equipment was easy to find, and it looked solid right away. I expect the recipient of the other one will request a return, to exchange it for this one. This requires a little bit of bike assembly or general mechanical experience, and it comes with no instructions (the other didn't either, mostly they're pretty easy) but wasn't hard. You have to string the brake cables through the front brakes, and that was the toughest thing, once you figure out the orientation of the handlebars which are a little funky. But I was very impressed with the quality--- a very nice bike for the price. I expect a few things to go wrong with a bicycle that is shipped this way: damaged paint, a bent fender, that sort of thing, but that was not the case; it was solid, and the tires are rideable right away. It ought to have a kickstand, especially useful for assembling at home. Bottom line, I'll buy more stuff on line, if they come out like this one (I got the other one at a store, just had to assemble it myself). No regrets at all.

I got the bike in the box, assembled it and rode it.
I took it offroad, it works as well as my husbands mountain bike.
I feel I do not need all this gears, but hey, they do not cost anything additionally.
Finally I can ride in comfort, without being bent over, and can carry my gear on the rack. The mud guards come in handy too. Great value, great bike.

i bought this bike as a gift for my cousin. she liked the overall look of the bike & i liked the comfort features, and included rack & fenders. my boyfriend put it together and said that it was a complete no brainer. the only catch was that there was no kickstand, but it cost all of 7 bucks to get one. i also added 2 black folding baskets to the rack so if she decided carry things, she'd have space. i think it's perfect for a young lady in middle school to grow into and perhaps keep in to her HS and even early college years. great value!!
