Tour de Cure Women's Road Bike, 700C, Purple, 17.25"/One Size

Full disclosure: This is my very first road bike, so I don't have a good frame of reference for comparison. Thus far, I'm less than impressed with the bike, although that could be on me.Looks: This bike does look very nice and seems to be decently well made, especially for the price. Unfortunately, it wasn't packed as carefully as it could have been and the wheel frames arrived scratched up.Assembly: Made way more complicated than it needed to be by the giant instruction book, only a small part of which applied to this bike (but as a super fun game, you have to figure out which parts apply). It was actually only a few simple steps to put the bike together but I'm not sure if I put it together correctly.Riding: Something just feels off as I ride it. It could be poor assembly on my part (see above), that I'm not used to riding a road bike (also see above), or maybe it's the bike itself. I've taken it out about 10 times thus far and I'm still not sure. I've named it Death Trap to reflect my confidence in my ability to stay alive on it (here's hoping the bike helmet I purchased from Amazon.com is as good as its reviews suggest).Summation: Good price, looks nice, may cause fear of great bodily harm (but maybe not if you're a better rider than me).

I received my bike yesterday, and in my excitement today as I was putting it together, there were 2 obvious things quite wrong with it. 1st, there is no adjustment for the handlebars. A vital piece of hardware that holds the handle bars in place is missing. Secondly the partial assembly was done wrong. The front brake assembly was installed on the rear of the forks. I don't know about you, but every bike I've ever owned, has had be brake assembly attached to the front of the fork on the front of the bike, and attached to the rear of the fork on the rear of the bike. Is in it obvious the reasons for the assembly this way? Other than that, it's a well made lightweight bike and for the price, it is a bargain. I won't complain too much about the missing part, because purchasing a new one would not be terribly expensive, and I'm pretty handy with a wrench so changing the break to the front is no big deal.But to me, details like this matter, which is the reason for only 2 stars... its simple: do you care enough about customer service and satisfaction as you do about sales?

Fácil de montar

This bike is poorly made. My front derailleur locks up againt the chainring when I switch gears so I only use this bike indoors for exercise on the bike stand. I didn't take the bike out of the box right away when I purchased it, and it was too late to return it.
