Price Paid:  $380.00 at Plat It Again Sports

Bike Setup:
Added a Soutibez dynamo/light, rack and fenders.

Summary:
Overall good performance and good value for the money. Components not the best, but have held up well after steady commuting on city streets over the past 3 summers. Not sure what is going on with the back wheel. Next spoke I break I think I will replace the entire rim with something more durable. If you looking for a good commuter bike that is not too expensive, this is it.

Strengths:
Smooth, easy ride. Comfortable seat. Easy Shifting and good overall handling both on pavement and loose gravel bike trails. After commuting 35km per day for the past three summers, bike is still holding up well.

Weaknesses:
I have replaced far too many rear spokes on this bike. Bearings are starting to go, but after 10,000 km I can't complain. Replaced the cheap plastic peddles after 4 months.

Similar Products Used:
