Price Paid:  $199.00 at Dick's Sporting Good

Favorite Ride:
Little Miami Bike Trail

Bike Setup:
Stock with a rear MTB rack attached for grocery panniers.

Summary:
This is for the 2005 Wildwood Deluxe, which I purchased on clearance. I bought this as a "toolin' around" bike and a bike to ride to the grocery store or to ride on some light single track or rough bike trails. I looked at (and have owned in the past) a Trek Navigator, but for the money spent, this one wins hands down. It is the black/silver color and has the retro curved top tube-very stunning. It's a cushy, simple ride where you can just hop on in your regular shorts and sneaks and cruise the neighborhood or trail. I really love this little bike and it's fun to ride!

Strengths:
You are sitting upright while riding this and able to take in the scenery. Everything feels cushioned and comfy, just like it's supposed to feel on a bike like this one. It comes stock with reinforced MTB Kenda kevlar tires. Nice squishy grips, adjustable stem, adjustable suspension seatpost, big cushy saddle, chain guard, beautiful paint scheme, Shimano components, and aluminum frame. Has eyelets for a rear rack too.

Weaknesses:
RST front shock could be a little more "tight" on the max adjustment. I hope I don't get into "pogo-ing", but if I do, a replacement shock of this type is not too expensive. It's somewhat of a heavy bike, but it is a "comfort mountain bike", so that is to be expected.

Similar Products Used:
Trek Navigator 300.
