 Exactly as advertised Feb 03, 2009
This bicycle is exactly as advertised. Assembly took about 30 minutes and I was up and running. The rear gears needed some slight adjusting, then everything worked great. For the price, this is a good bicycle. The one drawback is that it is quite heavy. Other than that I have no complaints.

 Disappointed Mar 19, 2008
One of the main reasons I chose this bike (and thought I was paying a little extra) was because it was advertised with 24 speeds, which I wanted for the hilly gravel roads we have here. Once I had it all assembled, I realized it only has 21 speeds. Assembly takes about an hour to unpack, inflate tires, mount front tire, attach handle bar, attach & adjust seat, and attach pedals. A tune-up would take several hours more as the brakes, the wobble in the front wheel, and both derailleurs need adjusting at the very least. For this I recommend the book Bicycle Maintenance & Repair (by Bicycling magazine). The documentation provided with the bike is thorough, but really intended for someone with technical knowledge and know-how. The stamped serial number is not legible - half of it's missing - so it can't be used for identification purposes if the bike is stolen. The bike appears to be of good average quality, but is not as advertised, and has to be returned.

A good bike for the price Nov 04, 2007
This bike has a 6061 aircraft quality aluminum frame with aluminum alloy for forks and a alloy steel rear triangle. Easy assembly with basic hand tools within 30 minutes. you will need a tire pump since the tires are only partially filled at the factory. The shifters needed some adjustment to get in the correct gear which was easy. The bike features quick release hubs, (front and rear), a quick release seat post and thumb styles shifters. The bike has a very smooth ride compared to a traditional hard frame and could be even smoother if the tires were switched to comfort style tires but that would limit the bike to paved surfaces. My son who is more of an avid rider that myself said this bike was better than his Diamondback Outlook.
Overall, if you are looking for an entry to mid level bike that is better than the run of the mill department store stuff. this might be your bike especially during the August clearance sale when they change year models/colors. The free shipping and no sales tax makes it even more attractive.

 Great bike and I can prove it!!!!!! Jun 09, 2006
I bought 2004 model (same but red/white color). It was on clearance at Amazon for $229.00 total. I used it on the bike lane beside my house with the kids. With the gas sky rocketing I decided to carpool, so started to bike 1 1/2 each way to the subway station to meet my ride and lock my bike with heavy duty cable. There are about 50 to 100 bikes chained to serires of posts. The bike was great. Shifts were smooth, the dual suspension makes you feel that you are riding on air. After couple month my bike was stolen. From all the bike, some were better than mine with less thicker cable, the ..... choose my bike. I was dsapointed, espacially I was enjoying the ride and the smootheness of the bike. Now I'm using my old bike which no one will take even if I left it unlocked. I bought a new Master Lock Street Cuff and a very thick chain (both with warranties to replace the bike if the lock was broken).
Now, I'm waiting for my birthday in August and hoping the bike will go on sale till then.
I strongly recommend the bike. I will buy one in august.
