Received my bike in timely fashion and packaged nicely. No instructions but as always it's a good idea to have your LBS do the tune up and give it the once over. My LBS noticed a loose spoke which I would not have caught and did a much better job than I could at brake and cable adjustments and settings. $60 is worth it. My brother is a big time recreational cyclist with $2500 to $5000 bikes and while this bike of course is heavier with less expensive components this is a more than adequate for fairly significant weekly mileage and for guys like me who need a less expensive bike for riding or tri sprint events. You will love the integrated shifters. The baskets and pedals aren't great and neither is the seat but those are things you would want to customize anyway. It's also not black, it's more of the darkest purple you can imagine. Great bike for the money and fits my 5-10 210 soon to be 199 pound frame nicely. You won't find a better bike for under $500.00.

Just started cycling about two months ago and decided to start with this bike mainly for the features and cost. The brake-shifters work flawlessly as well as everything else on the bike. Assembly was straightforward, instructions were clear. However, if you have no experience with adjusting the derailleur (even with the instructions), it could take some trial and error. I still don't have mine perfectly set up and so I've decided to just bring it in at a local bike store and let the pros handle it. I have about 130 miles on it so far and it's still running (tires aren't showing any signs of wear so far). The only thing I've upgraded are the pedals (replaced with shimano clipless SPD-SL).

Bought this bike 3 months ago and for the money it is a great (although Chinese) bike. Easy to put together, shifting was aligned well, and it is fun to ride. You can spend four thousand and try to be Lance, or buy this and go just as well.
