Minor assembly is required before the bike can be used. .com Bicycle Buying Guide Finding the Right Bike To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike: The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories: Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability. Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action. The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips: Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons: Helmet (this is a must!) Seat pack Lock Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages Spare tubes Portable bike pump Gloves

Soft-rider delivers
Delivers all that was promised. Assembly not difficult. Seat a little hard! Suspension makes all the difference! So smooth I thought the tires were low on air.

Fairly Impressed
After reading other reviews I thought I might have made the wrong decision. When the bike arrived it was packaged identically with any bicycle I've purchased in the last 20 years. Handlebars, seat, pedals and front wheel detached. Other than figuring out the quick-release axle for the front wheel I didn't require instructions. The bike is also sturdier than other reviews had led me to believe. I weigh 215, and the bike can more than handle the fairly rough ride I give it on a daily basis. The "plastic parts" that other reviews complain about are very strong (i.e. the plastic pedals, pedal stems, and gear-guard). I have stood will full body weight on each pedal, and they have been fine. The gear guard is just that (meant to keep your pant-leg out of the gears), and the fact that it is also extruded plastic keep one less part from rusting. Overall, I believe the bike is a decent quality and a great buy at this price.

Front Wheel Defective
Overall the bike was easy to install, except for the front wheel. The screw on the left side of the wheel does not have a hole in it, so I wasn't able to stick the metal thing through to keep my front wheel in place. Although there's a hole on the screw on the right side of the wheel, I could stick the metal thing through that but it wouldn't matter cuz the other screw doesn't have a hole, so the metal thing cant go through it.

My first bike
The bike came with instructions not clearly written and the front wheel is too big, each time I try riding the bike my feet gets tangled with the front tire. The bike is designed for someone much shorter but I kept the bike because it is able to provide me with the exercise i need. I would recommend the bike for a teenager not for an adult like myself who needs a bike for that price to be comfortable. The price is a little too high, I think for the price I expect the bike to be fully assembled in the box and all I needed to do is open the box and spray some bike chain lubricant on the back gear mechanism and start riding I had to buy a special wrench that fit in order to complete the assembly.

Good...
the bike looks good, but it took me quite a while to assemble the bike, the manual is complete trash!! it doenst tell you the steps. Took me a couple of hours to assemble, but once i finished it, the bike was worth the money. Took it on a test run and it was flawless.
