It's such a classy, simple design--I love it! It's super lightweight--I weigh 100 lbs. and I can easily carry it on my shoulder up a few flights of stairs. Surprisingly, it does very well on the pot-hole streets of New Orleans. I ride it to the grocery, downtown, and to school. It feels very safe--I don't plan on breaking my jaw again. The seat might need to be replaced soon--for female comfort, but otherwise, I plan on using this bike for as long as it lasts. It's a solid bike--and a bargain!Was this review helpful to you?

I can't stop riding her (fnar fnar). It's fairly light (lighter than my Trek 7000 Aluminum) and getting up some fair steep hills, it was pretty light work. Components may not be highest quality and will see how she fairs in 6 months time.Was this review helpful to you?

Great frame and fork set up for the price, very easy to upgrade parts for fixed gear riding and if you can get this bike as a sale item, I'd have to say it's money well invested.I've converted mine as a fixed gear, chopped the bars 4" total, upgraded to 44t Sugino cranks, 17t fixed cog and 700c x 23 deep Vs from an old bike and presto....decent daily commuter / looker.Was this review helpful to you?

I've been riding this 2-3 days a week since July on my 8.5 mile commute with no issues. A super bargain at this price point. Only upgrades I made were new grips and a Forte seat. Fast and smooth to ride on the flats, and OK for climbing short or gradual hills. A perfect entry level single speed bike.Was this review helpful to you?

And I thought a single speed might be fun for a change. By the time I added up the cost + hassle of making a single speed out of an old steel frame, the
