Well, this bike looks much better from far away than it does up close. But it reminded me so much of the Pee Wee's Big Adventure bike that I sprung for it anyway to use as my main commuter bike anyway, sight unseen.Overall, I still like it, and it hasn't broken down on me or thrown me over the handlebars yet after 3 weeks of riding it ~7 miles to work each day.The frame is nice, but most of the parts look and feel cheap. Everything is adjustable, and just about everything needed adjustment to get the brakes and shifters working smoothly. And then everything needed to be tightened and adjusted again after a week as things got stretched and settled. So if you like tweaking bolts and screws, this is a good bike for you.The front suspension doesn't travel very smoothly and groans slightly compared to other forks I've used. The generator-powered LED lights are nice, but flimsy, and the wiring is kind of exposed and vulnerable. I've already had the wiring cut and had to bind it back together with electrical tape. I have an extra set of battery-powered flashing safety LEDs that I use in addition to the bike lights, since I don't really trust them to stay working for all that long. But they are bright enough to light the way for now. The rear lamp has a capacitor or something, so it stays lit for a few minutes even after you stop moving, which is a considerate touch for stop-n-go traffic.It is quite light, and does look nice from far away. The mudflaps do a good job keeping my cargo and me relatively clean and dry while biking in wet and muddy conditions.Overall I'm content with it, though I do find myself hesitating to go down steep hills on it, and riding the brakes a little more than I should, but this might be because I was moving from a mountain bike to a hybrid bike. If I had to do it again, I would probably just get a cheaper (but better build quality) Schwinn mountain bike and fit it with the pannier rack, fenders, and lights separately. But this bike-in-a-box is a nice integrated package, and I'm left wondering slightly whether the version that costs $50 more for "better shifters" also includes nicer parts. But alas, these bikes aren't available to look at in stores before you mail-order them.

By Steve
The frame is very nice, the derailler required multiple adjustments, the seat post and handle bars required retightening several times and I am sure at this point in time that I would not purchase another bicycle from this manufacturer. Bolts were also omitted as the inspection at the Chinese factory was surely up to their normal standards? $314 should have been $225...Best regards, Steve in Fox Chase, Philadelphia, PA 19111
