5.0 out of 5 stars Just as expected!, September 18, 2009

It was just what I expected of a US$160 bike with no aluminum frame. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. So many people admire my bike... inlcuding me of course! It's such a great looking bike for that money and with great geometry. I'm 6'1" and I feel pretty comfortable although I usually don't ride for more than one hour.
The breaks did require a bit further tweaking but still deserves 5 stars.

The bike needed some work right out of the box. The front wheel wobbled badly and made the brake pads rub. I spend a few minutes tuning up the spokes and got the wheel true. The seat that came with the bike seemed not to be the correct one. I had to mount the seat on the very rear of the seat bracket to get it somewhat level. The chain was not properly threaded through the rear derailer. It was rubbing across the metal bracket and not threaded through the gears. I bent the bracket back and threaded the chain through the gears. If I would have rode it with out threading the chain properly, the chain would have jammed and probably broken the derailer. This was an obvious error and makes me wonder who put the bike's rear chain assembly together and where was the quality control.

After spending a couple hours assembling and fixing everything the bike performed well. The seating position and swept-back handlebars made for a very comfortable ride. It is stylish and the price was very good. If you are handy or are willing to take the bike to a shop for the initial setup I would recommend this ride.

This bike came partially assembled from the factory. The brakes rub on the wheels despite numerous attempts to adjust them. The bike is too short from the seat to handlebar (I'm only 5'-7") making the bike hard to ride. The wheels (rims) are not true and you can watch the front tire whobble as you ride. Would I buy one again? NO!
