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...

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... Read more

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... Read more
