Super Cute!, June 9, 2008
This review is from: Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Women's Cruiser Bike (Sports)
The title of these review comes straight from the packaging of this product and I must say it is "Super Cute!" So, I had been eyeing up this bike forever. No one ever had it locally and Amazon was out of stock for a while on it. The when they had it back in stock you had to pay for shipping. I held out more and at the time of this review there was free shipping like they had offered in the past. So when UPS delivered it, it comes in this huge heavy hello kitty decked out box unassembled. I had tried to assemble it, but gave up after a half hour of getting no where with it. So I had to go to bike shop pay 40 bucks and have them assemble it. Then, because it is HUGE they couldn't stick it in the back of my jetta with the two back seats down. The guy had to remove the front wheel to squeeze it in. It wasn't hard getting the wheel back on at home, but if you ever wanted to take it with you, you would definitely need a bike rack.
So far the review sounds burdensome and not worth it, however once I had the bike assembled I must say that I am truly impressed by it. There is so much attention to detail. The bike seat is even embroidered, and it comes with a cute little bell all with hello kitty on it. Even the wheels have hello kitty treads on them. The company nirve also sends touch out paints just in case.
Riding it, you really need a flat surface because it is a cruiser. But that's why it's awesome. The handle bars are aligned almost like a chopper so it's easy to ride one handed and just relax while riding. It's also nice in that there are hand and foot brakes. The ride itself is so smooth. It's funny but you do "turn heads" with this bike if that's the kind of thing your into.
All in all, I love this bike. It's fun, cute (I mean "super cute") and has great quality. Just keep in mind that it is way larger than the little photo on amazon allows (for example, on the frame where the hello kitty is painted I can't clasp my one hand around it and touch my fingers together)

My wife loves this bike. It looks great, rides great and is high quality. Just by looking at the welds on the frame, you can tell that this bike is well made.

Wife loves the bike! Because its a single speed she doesn't like how hard she has to peddle climbing hills which is easily resolved by installing another sprocket.
Back to Wife loves it!
