"THIS IS A GREAT ENTRY LEVEL ROAD BIKE THAT IS LIGHT AND STURDY FOR BOTH CLIMBING AND SPEED. POP ON SOME CLIPLESS PEDALS, UPGRADE THE WHEELS AND GO FOR IT.

REI MAY SEEEM LIKE A WAREHOUSE SALES SITUATION, BUT THE BIKES ARE SUPPOSEDLY MADE BY GIANT, SCOTT, AND OTHER BRAND NAME MANUFACTURERS. THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF ACCESSORIES AND ADD ON FOR GOOD PRICES, AS WELL AS CLOTHES. "SWIM2LIVE

Customer Service

OK. THEY DID PUT ON MY CLIPLESS PEDALS FOR FREE, BUT CHARGING ME FOR A FITTING AFTER SPENDING NEARLY 2 GRAND SEEMED A LITTLE CHICKEN S*@%T TO ME. MOST OTHER LBS DO A FREE AND THOROUGH FITTING AFTER BUYING THEIR PRODUCT. I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THEM

Performance

THE BIKE RIDES GREAT. COMING FROM A STEEL 10 SPEED AND CRYING CLIMBING HILLS, THIS BABY FLIES ON THE STRAIGHTS AND EATS UP THE HILLS. IT IS LIGHT WEIGHT AND STRONG.

Strengths

TRIPLE CRANK STANDARD
FREE 60 DAY TUNE UP

Weakness

ONE COLOR CHOICE
ONLY TRIPLE CRANK CHOICE
NO FREE BIKE FITTING AFTER PURCHASE
