5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome bike!!!!! December 17, 2010

I am 5'5" female and this bike is perfect! It is comfortable and a great height. I wanted the look of the cruisers, but wanted to be able to keep up with my husband while biking. This bike fits the bill perfectly - it has the mud guards and the cute back rack, but it can keep up too! There are a lot of gears, I don't change them too much, but I do like having them instead of just 1 or 3 options like a cruiser would offer. I've ridden this bike to work (~ 7 miles one way) and it was a great ride. The seat is comfortable too. I would highly recommend this bike if you want a cute, sophisticated bike that can ride well too.

Just know that you will have to take this to a bike shop unless you're a professional. It pretty much comes assembled, so my husband put it together, seemed easy enough - unfortunately he put the handle bars on backwards (looked normal to me! lol) and the fender in the front kept rubbing on the tires - also the gears felt weird and it was hard to pedal -- once we had the bike shop do the adjustments (~ $50) it was like a completely different bike! I would highly recommend just taking the bike to the bike shop and asking them to assemble it - that way they can't make fun of how you (or your spouse) assembled it in the first place lol.

I just finished assembling the bike. I love it! I have been looking for a comfy crusier style bike but versitale enough to go from trails to off roading. I biked 1/2 way up my super steep hill with no problem. The set up wasn't too hard. I have never worked on a bike before and with a few tools I was able to but on the front tire, pedals and handle bars. The seat is very comfortable. It was hard to decide on a bike online, but this is definately the right choice.

This bike is lovely. I love the way it looks, it has an elegance and style not seen with mountain bikes or other hybrids. I have to sit up on it, gracefully, no crouching, this makes it more comfortable and therefore more likely to be ridden.
The shocks are perfect for the spring road terrain in Michigan after a hard winter. Potholes and debris are no match for the agility I possess with this bicycle. The saddle is very comfy, and the bike racks are handy. I like the white color as it is highly visible. The fenders keep me from getting the tell tale mud vein up and down my back after the wet of the road has been traveled through. I am very satisfied with this bike. Not since I was a kid on my first ten speed have I looked forward to riding a bike. I adore the hand grips, the way they fit my hands are lovely. The changing of the gears is smooth and effortless, no chinking noise of the chain, no hesitation. The gear dials are perfectly located at my finger tips so I do not have to take my eyes off the road. The brakes are smooth, not grabby or jerky. The tires are large, and I get the feeling as if I am traveling the maximum distance with the least amount of effort possible. I highly recommend this bike. I shopped around for several months before I made my decision on this bike. I am glad I did. I would buy another if needed.
