The all in one stop review for new gear.
By Brian Nallick
I haven't owned a bike since I was a teenager.My last bike was a ten speed Huffy that got stolen out of my parent's garage.I'm only 38 now but with spring right around the corner I really wanted a bike and one that wouldn't break the bank either.I searched high and low online looking for reviews on this model but sadly there were none.I almost didn't even keplek it based on the lack of reviews.Then I went looking at local bike shops but all the local shops want at least a grand or two for their bikes so I bit the bullet and bought this one.And...the bike showed up with free shipping...yayyyy!!!The first thing I noticed was how beat up the box was.Not cool but then I unpacked the bike and it was in perfect shape.I'm deducting one star for a few things...first of all the picture does NOT match what I got.It matches by about 99% but the tire rims I got are silver NOT the orange/yellow that is pictured.No biggie but still not accurate.The next thing I noticed was that the bike requires minimal assembly. Not a problem I sat there thinking...until I opened the instruction manual.The company might as well not put anything in there that's how useless the manual is.Let me spare you some agony...since the entire manual seems to encompass every bike the company makes with zero instructions on specific models.You know when you open a manual and there's always a parts list for you to compare so you can make sure you have everything?Nope, not there.The bike seat comes in a separate box with about seven different parts.Once again the manual is useless, just a picture that looks like it was drawn by a four year old.Let's tackle that first.First of all the bike seat is a rail seat which means you can adjust how far or how near the seat is in relation to the handle bars.Put the bolt under the rails, then attach two of the little clips facing out then put two more clips facing in, then put the nuts on over that.You'll see how it works, the clips attach to the rails so the seat slides.Do NOT do what I did and stick the bike seat pole in the bike itself and accidentally let go.It WILL slide into the bike body out of sight and get stuck.After much weeping, crying, and stamping of feet I got the bar back out by turning the bike upside down and slamming on it.Headache number 2...the handle bars.This is a little hard to describe but I'll try...The handle bars attach to the body via a pipe in the bike.The bars are screwed in with a long bolt.No matter how hard I shoved in the bars I could NOT get the thing to screw in.Then I noticed at the bottom of the bike where the bar was, there was an opening so I shoved a screwdriver and sure enough it pushed the female part back up the tube and then I could screw it in.Another hour down the tube.Finally you have to attach the front wheel.Sounds easy except the brakes block the tire.You have to remove one of the brake pads in order to get the tire on.At least the pedals were easy to get on.And it also comes with two reflectors that aren't in the picture.The red one I put on the bike seat pole.And the white one on the handle bars right next to the center bar.All in all, with no instructions it was a nightmare and a half.I'm giving four stars based on the fact that the bike is built like a tank and shifts comfortably.I expect years of service and I will update frequently.For those of you who need additional gear keep on reading.Review update.....04/28/2013Spring in MN has not been kind this year. Snow storm after snow storm has plagued our spring. Until TODAYI finally got to take my baby out for a lengthy test.I love my bike.Handles like a dream, takes potholes like a champ, and in general works flawlessly.A few things...the seat is a quick release seat which I detest.Really?....how many times do you need to adjust the seat once you get it perfect?What scares me is that any jerk can walk by and take off with your seat unless you bring it with you. I'm changing mine to a regular seat bolt to prevent theft.For now I'm running the heavy cable that came with my lock (see product link below) through the rear bike rack (product link below) that is attached to the seat when locking the bike to a rack to keep the seat secure.Besides that....I'm sore. This is the first I've ridden in 17 years and I rode for an hour and a half. It hurts to stand up lol.But I'm happy...good product.Review update 05/30/2013I swapped out the stock seat for a padded Schwinn seat that is not sold here on kumisjojon or I would have put up a link. I got mine at Target.The stock seat was so hard I bruised my tailbone and couldn't ride for over three weeks. Ditch the seat it's horrible.I wanted this bike primarily for exercise and I wanted to be able to ride indoors if the weather is bad so I bought one of these and I love it.Magnet Steel Bike Bicycle Indoor Exercise Trainer StandBut I also wanted my bike for outdoors use and I really needed a helmet so I bought this one and I am very happy with it.Fox Men's Rockstar Transition HelmetREVIEW UPDATE.....................DO NOT keplek this rear bike rack for this bike. The rack says universal but it's not. I'm going to try one from Schwinn that attaches to the seat post and I'll update later. This universal rack was missing screws and there was no way to attach the bottom part where the wheels are because the threads are too close to the gears.But wait...I also want to grocery shop during the summer so bought a rack for the back of my bike.Ventura Universal Bicycle Carrier RackBuy this bike rack instead. It got a lot of bum reviews but it works perfectly with this bike.Schwinn Alloy Rear RackAs well as some pannier bags to hold my groceries.Avenir Excursion Large Panniers (1, 700 Cubic Inches total)And don't forget your bike pump.Topeak Pocket Rocket Master Blaster Bike PumpAND A GOOD LOCK!!!Kryptonite Kryptolok Series 2 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Transit FlexFrame Bracket (4-inch x 9-inch) with 4-Foot Flex CableAnd last but not least...reflectors are cool but not quite modern.I bought six of these, three for each tire and they're SO AWESOME at night.Nite Ize Spokelit Bicycle LightTo answer the last burning question you're all pondering...did I get the tight, stretchy bike suit?NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!I'm way too fat....for now.I hope this was helpful for all of you who are jumping back into the biking game.It's finally spring, go have fun...I will be!!!December 3rd, 2013...final update for this year.Well, I used my bike A LOT this year.Grocery shopping once or twice a week.Leisure rides on the weekend.I have had zero issues with my bike except for the occasional clunking noise when I peddle really hard up hill.(?) I have no idea where that noise is coming from and it has not affected the bikes performance.For such a low price I'm very happy with the way this bike has performed over the past year.It still shifts perfectly and I've only had to add air to the tires once.I'll update in the future if anything goes terribly wrong.I'll be happy if I get five years plus service from this bike and I expect it.I'm not riding races nor and I doing bike stunts off big ramps lol.My days of doing that are LONG over.So for casual use this product was just what I needed.Recommended.

A Great Bike
By Michele
I purchased this bike for my husband for father's day. It arrived on time. The box was damaged but the bike parts were fine. We noted the kumisjojon reviews for this bike and they were helpful with assembly. We had the bike together in around 30 minutes and we were ready to go. It is very sturdy and easy to ride. My husband is 6"1 and 220 lbs and this bike is a comfortable fit for him. The seat is a little uncomfortable. I would suggest purchasing a gel seat cover. The color is great (the wheels are white, not yellow). It was a great gift. I am very happy with this purchase. We have spent hours riding the bike trails together. I would highly recommend this bike.

The box came in kind of bruised but quick arrival. we put it together in no time.Kind of expensive after seeing other bikes in walmart almost the same. Just hate the dragging of theboxes, so its ok to keplek if this is what you want.
