All NEW 2013 model with 21 Speeds and Shimano thumb shifters. Selling as of 11/13/2012
We’ve listened to feedback from riders and have introduced some significant upgrades to the 2013 model. We’ve replaced the downtube shifters with an updated Shimano thumb shifter – this allows you to shift with your hands on the handle bars. We upgraded the brakes for more stopping power. We’ve added a third smaller chainring on the front for easier hill climbing, and we’ve significantly improved the packaging to better withstand shipping. The best part – the price is the same!

Commuter Road Bike Got the bike today and it was easy to put together. The component parts (brakes) are cheap but I expect it to be for the price. The frame is worth the $150.00 price tag. So I’m fine with it. The wheels are good like the other post claim. It would be wise to buy better tires because I can tell that the tires are cheap and one rock will pop right through it. So invest in new tires as well ( I bought Vittoria Zaffiro 700x25c tires. Note that it doesn’t come in pairs. So you gotta order…
Great buy for under $200 I bought this bike to get into road bikes. I believe this is a great entry level bike for under $200. The matte black color is great. I don’t need any stickers or loud colors. Assembly was easy, didn’t even need any instructions. There were a few scratches on the paint but over all it looks great. Buy this to try out road biking or as a backup bike. It’s no $1000 bike but at this price why would you even compare the two.
Read the specs before you buy. For the money and first time road bike buyer this bike is a excellent value. Be prepared to learn about adjusting every item on a road bike that can be adjusted. This bike needs constant attention if you put any serious miles on it. The tires are inferior and you should expect to invest another $60-$75 for the proper tires. The brake pads are not safe and should be changed when you get new tires. For the individual who wants to learn about road bikes and not invest $1000 + I recommend this…
