 Frustrating a bit, but I'm very satisfiedMar 21, 2006
By NIB
The bike was delivered within two days of ordering. All necessary screws were there and nothing was bent. Sounds like a lot of people have had those problems before, but maybe they're doing a better job at checking these things before they ship. Anyway, I can't deny the fact that putting the bike together is frustrating and timely. I'd never done that before, but I am glad to know now how all the little gadgets work. It took me about 2.5 hours to put together (while taking a frustration break several times) but it starts to make sense after a while. Just read the manual carefully and REPEATEDLY. The ride is very smooth on this bike and the handlebars are super - you don't have to keep them at 45 degrees, put them where it feels best for you. Overall, I'd recommend this bike for someone who likes the challenge of putting things together, who has the proper tools to put this bike together (or can borrow tools from someone), and who is looking for a comfortable cruiser that has a nice look to it as well.

 Very Rad BikeMar 08, 2007
By Seana Y.
I shopped around at bike stores and online for a cruiser bike. This is definately the best value.
It looks great, has gears, handbrakes, AND fenders! I found a similar one by Schwinn at Target for $10 more, but it didn't have fenders and the handlebars were too long so my hands weren't far enough in front of me. This one has the perfect handlebars.
It was easy to put together. It's just putting on the handlebars, seat, front tire, front fender and pedals. I didn't have to assemble the gears or anything. That was all done. The only confusing part was that the instruction manual was for several different kinds of bikes, and you had to read through a lot to get to the right bike. But if you're mechanically inclined, it's easy enough to figure out just by looking at the bike parts, which is what I did after getting annoyed with the instructon manual.
The only problem I had with this purchase is that it needed more padding during shipping. It didn't have any padding and a small piece was bent in transit. I was able to bend it back, but I knew I was taking a risk of that from reading the other reviews.
All in all, it's a fantastic bike. I have so much fun riding it. It's way more comfortable than a mountain bike. I put a basket on the front and it just looks great as a whole package. Other cruisers at bike shops were $300-$600. This is an amazing bike for the price.

The perfect bike!!!Oct 04, 2005
By Rebecca A. Dickey
I love this bike!!! I bought this bike for comfort, style and its features. I spent about 4 weeks searching and researching entry level/budget friendly Comfort/Cruiser bikes and decided on this one even though assembly was required. It was exactly what I was looking for: higher and wider handle bars positioned so I can sit upright and not hunched over in the racing position, a wide saddle for ultimate comfort so I can focus on enjoying the scenery while I ride instead of discomfort, and a cruiser bike with hand brakes and more than one speed. I was overjoyed to find this bike has 7 speeds!!! Assembly was easy with the exception of some tweeking on the rear brakes. I took my bike to a local bike repair shop for that and the cost was minimal. The cost was worth it to me since I love the bike so much. Decals and fenders were in tact upon delivery but it was missing one front axle nut which was easily replaced at my local bike repair shop as well. I would highly recommend this bike to any woman looking for a comfortable ride with style.

 Would have been beter off going garage sale/vintageAug 08, 2005
By hidingmyhands
My friend and I both purchased this bike. The bike was easy to put together, but the decals were falling off when I took it out of the box. The instruction manual is in no readable order. Both bikes had to have the gears worked on to stop them from trying to shift contstantly without the shift knob being touched at all.
Over all, I'm not happy and i think I could have done better buying a second hand bike.

I LOVE THIS BIKE!Aug 08, 2006
By BonBon
"Happy Biker"
I ordered this bike because I wanted the comfort of a cruiser bike, but I still needed to be able to get up and down hills. It took me about 1-2 hours to put together and the directions were a little confusing because the manual is actually for several different types of bikes. You have to flip through and find the instructions that pertain to this bike. While it was a little confusing at times, I did just fine. I took it to a bike shop the next day to make sure I had put it together correctly and to have them make any minor adjustments that were necessary. They gave it a once over, and all it cost me was $10.
I have been riding this bike constantly since then. It is so comfortable. I feel like I am a little kid again. I just ride around with a silly grin on my face most of the time. This past weekend I rode down the west side of Manhattan, then took the train to the beach at Far Rockaway to ride all the way down the boardwalk. I am sure there are other bikes that area lot better, but they coast a lot more. If you are looking for a simple, comfortable and inexpensive bike, this is it. I highly recommend it!
I hope this review helps you. Best of luck and happy riding!
