Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great entry-level, hybrid bike for the casual rider.
SIZING - Picked up the sz SMALL in BLUE and it's perfect for me, a 5'7" rider. I think the small may even accommodate a 5'8" rider. (Went to an actual B&M store to try out the medium and it was actually too big for me.)
INSTALLATION - The bike was fairly easy to install when I received it. You will need to mount the handlebars, pedals (remember to use grease before mounting), and tires(be sure to mount it in the correct direction). If you are going to install it yourself you will also need to make some minor adjustments on the brakes and derailers (or you can just take it to your local bike shop for a tune-up). I learned how to make those adjustments watching youtube videos on bike maintenance- so if you want to save some money, it is relatively easy.
DURABILITY - I've taken it on light trails, through streams, potholes, rough streets, dirt roads, and put on 80 miles on just the first week! It can also be converted for light to medium mountain biking with a pedal and tire upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the tires soon to Schwalbe Land Cruiser tires, which come standard on GT's cyclocross bikes.
CONS - Eventually, I ended up changing the pedals for mountain biking pedals with toe clips because these pedals have NO traction when wet (but they are perfect for exercise, city, or paved cycling). I realized how cheap the rear derailers were when I learned how to adjust them, it is a pain and you can never get it perfect (but passable).
All in all, this is an excellent bike that will provide both comfort, flexibility, and performance at a reasonable price.
