Nid weight, looks good, quality product, due to my vertically challenged build its not the best fit for a 5 footer but I could see more ease of riding with proper height. A bit pricey.

Negatives: Some scatches on the frame and a flat tire. Positives: Delivered before schedule and easy to put together. Rides well.

This is my very first road bike. It was a much needed upgrade from the MTB I was riding. Assembly is easy if you have any mechanic skills (if not just watch YouTube). I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a cycler so I got this “cheaper” option and I have been more than impressed with it’s function. This is an excellent value for what you get. Can you pay for a better bike? Of course but why do that when this bike does everything you need it to. I suggest this for any beginner getting into cycling.

Gift for my wife her comments.
Likes
– I am 5.5 feet woman and the bicycle is perfect for my size.
– It has a smooth ride and good breaks.
– I put together the bicycle by myself and it was very easy because around 85% came already built.
Dislikes
– The location of the gear in the middle for me is a little weird. I am getting used to it now.
– When I put the gears on the handles I made some scratches.
– It would be nice to have a kickstand.
Overall I do recommend the bicycle.

I received a damaged front wheel of the bicycle most likely from shipping. The manufacturer replaced the bicycle immediately. That is customer service!

The aluminum frame has good TIG welds and should hold up for a long time. The components aren’t the best but they’re not the worst either and are standard enough that you can swap out what you want as time and need allow.
It’s 85% assembled when received. My first job when I was 17 was assembling bicycles for a large shop. This bike was quick and easy to get rolling. It just has a lot of nylon ties that need to be cut to separate them.
Parts in box:
*Front Wheel
*handlebar (loose but brakes and cables attached)
*Saddle & post
*Pedals & parts in a box – (3 hex wrenches, all-in-one wrench, reflectors, extra cable ends, front quick release, instructions)
What’s on the bike:
Shimano shifters – “Click shift” levers mount on the handlebars next to the stem.
14 gear ratios (7 gears on the freewheel & 2 on the crank)
Double chainring gears look to be steel with 50 and 34 tooth sprockets (counted 3 times).
The crankset is aluminum
7 gear freewheel cassette looks to be a 14-28 standard (I didn’t count).
Quick release hubs. The front fork comes with a solid shipping axle that is removed and replaced with a quick-release skewer that’s in the parts box.
Stiff side pull caliper brakes with a quick release lever for wheel/tire removal.
Rear derailleur bolts onto the frame but needs the hanger to get below the axle.
Rear dropout has an eyelet for a rear rack or fender. The diameter was a little small for the rack bolts that I had, but the size is the same as the water bottle bolts that come with the frame.
Front fork dropout has eyelet holes for a rack or fender.
The seat tube & down tube each have eyelets complete with screws for a water bottle mounts (places for 2 bottles).
Low rake on front fork – control with no shock absorption
Tires are a soft rubber with a smooth tread pattern 1.25″ in size. They take up to 90psi. I’m riding them at 85psi and it’s still a soft ride. The rims look heavy duty and heavy. I’m sure a lot of weight is in the wheels and tires.
Pedals are steel with a few metal prongs sticking up for grip, with one large one in the center of one edge. It would be easy to pop off one reflector and install toe clips. I might file down the tall center “prong” if using clips.
Stem is fixed for height and length (non-adjustable).
“Large” frame measurements:
*Wheelbase 42.5″
Down tube (center to center) 25″
Seat tube (c to c) 20.5″
Top tube (c to c) 22″
Chainstays 16.5″
Seatstays 18.5″
Bottom Bracket Clearance (bottom of BB to ground) 10.5″
Crank arm to ground 4.5″
Stem length 3.5″
Assembly was fairly easy. The only tool not supplied was a screwdriver for the shift lever and reflector mounts. On a test squeeze, the front brake cable slipped through the caliper brake clamp and had to be remounted and tightened.
The front reflector mounts on the handlebars so leave a space for it next to a shifter if you want to use it.
Fit:
The only road bike I now own is a 24″ frame. This frame seems a hair larger, especially toward the head tube where the top tube is highest. I probably could have gotten a “Medium” but my size is on the cusp – a bit above 6′ in height. I think the “large” is definitely for someone over 6′ who has an inseam of 32″ or longer.
The ride:
The frame is fairly stiff, more so than the Columbus Cr-moly triple butted tubing on my other road bike, and flexes very little, allowing more power to get to the wheels. The shorter wheelbase and the steeper fork give a super quick response on turns and leans. The wheel bearings are smooth and the big 1 1/4″ tires smooth it out more.
The Shimano click shift worked perfectly without any adjustment. I thought I could shift with just a thumb push but on a push, when the lever released it goes through several clicks. I had to grip both levers with my hand to control a single click.
I really had to squeeze the brakes as the rubber brake shoes didn’t seem to grip that well.
The only adjustment for fit that you can make is with the seat height to reach the pedals with optimal leg length. The drawback here is that the seat tube clamp isn’t quick-release and you need to carry a hex wrench with you until it’s the right height and angle.
The seat shape itself isn’t that bad and has a thin layer of foam. The seat should stay there when parked since there is no quick release for someone to pull it off.
First changes? I don’t like the shifters on the stem. I’ll probably get some brake lever shifters or even bar end shifters over these. I’ll also get some grippier brake shoes. I’ll swap out the saddle for an old standby and get an adjustable stem for the handlebars. I also have some old pedals that might work better. I’ll put some narrower/lighter tires on these rims to start, and down the road, I’d get a different set of chainrings (front gears) and look into some lighter wheels/hubs. I haven’t pulled the freewheel to see if all the spare gears I have would fit so I can make a gear progression I like.
Overall, this is a nice bike and while not for racing, would make an excellent around town or a quick 25 mile loop bike with more efficiency than a hybrid or MTB. The frame makes it a good investment in that you can start with what’s supplied on a quality Al frame, and improve the components over time. It’s a lot easier than building from scratch and is a nice ride as is.

5 stars as a commuter bike for the frame with components that are usable. The frame is worth upgrading the components as needed.

Easy to build with no manufacture flaws. Good quality and value for under 300 dollars.
