Customer Reviews

“no regrets on this bike”

short review

great bike, for beginners, for people just looking for a workout, for anyone. probably not gonna be your tour de france winning bike, but great for training. research the parts on this bike, then search other bikes with the same components and youll see the price difference

“First 23c Road bike”

This is my first modern road bike (my other bike is a 70’s Fuji Grand Tour). With that said, I cannot think of a better deal: I found a 2007 model, identical to the blue one in the pic, for $750. It is the smoothest, most solid bike I have ever ridden: from the shifters, to the derailleurs, to the over-all, smooth ride (due mostly to the carbon fork and seat stays, and surprisingly comfy seat).

The only beware comment I can make is about the wheel set. I already broke 2 spokes (all in the same occasion), possibly had something to my lack of checking them and them getting loose from sitting in the shop unridden for over a year; But anyway I have not had any problems since they were fixed, and have no reason to expect future problems, so far. I do not know the specs of the wheel set and would not know how to interpret them if I did, but I would look into them.

Overall, I love the bike, I am 5′11 and the medium bike fits me perfectly. After adjusting everything, the seat looks to be the exact same height in proportion to the bike as in the pic above: The seat being 1 to 2 inches higher than the handle bars.
