Price Paid:  $230.00 at Bicycle Connection

Favorite Ride:
Specialized Crossroads

Bike Setup:
stock everything (sora derailuers) except for a 2in riser in place of the oldmanish 4in riser.

Summary:
I'm a mountain biker, so this review is for my wife's hybrid we recently purchased. I encouraged my wife to get a bike so we can go on rides together. There were only a few things to take into consideration; money is an object, it has to be comfortable, and it has to look good (otherwise she will not ride). The bike was just within our price range, weighs alot, and has good enought components on it for the use it will be getting. She enjoys riding it, and she even through a rack on the back so she can strap books down and commute to the library 4 miles away (something I never thought she would do).

Strengths:
Competitive price and comfortable enough for my wife (a non biker) to enjoy riding. Best of all, it got my wife to enjoy cycling, it only took a bike of her own.

Weaknesses:
weight, but that was expected with an inexpensive steel bike. 2in fork doesn't seem to do too much, solid for might have been better for the weight savings.

Similar Products Used:
a giant comfort bike
