Strengths: It's light, fast and was super cheap to buy. I use it all the time to get around town. I've never had to do anything to it other than lube the breaks.
Oh, and it comes with a huge angry clown horn, which is totally sweet.Weaknesses: The stock sweep back bars weren't comfortable, so I replaced them. The stock brake pads made a real mess of the rims, but those got replaced when they wore out.
Also I was worried that some street thug would steel the clown horn, so I keep that in my house.
Finally the v-break metal ends rusted, so I replaced them when I replaced my brake pads.Bottom Line: Great city bike. I rode this to work every day for two years. It is smooth and fast. Also, the chain guard is great if you are wearing pants that you want to keep clean. I still occasionally get compliments on this bike, sometimes from pretty girls. I would buy another one for sure.
Favorite Ride: 1994 Kona Fire Mountain
Price Paid:
$270.00
Purchased At: Revolution Cycles
Similar Products Used: Bianchi Milano. This bike has the same frame and is lighter since it doesn't have a heavy 8-speed hub. Although, I have to say sometimes when I am going up hills in the summer, I miss the 8-speed hub.
Bike Setup: I added a set of locking skewers and leave it outside all the time. So far nothing has been stolen except my bell. I swapped the stock swept back bars for some bontrager antlers. They look really good and are comfortable. Also I added stainless steel v-brake ends.

Strengths: Rollo is comfortable and requires very
little maintainance.Great frame and fork.
Frame is the same as the Milano.The green
paint is great for visibility.Weaknesses: The wheel set is pretty cheap but what do you want for 265.00.Bottom Line: I bought this to cruise around on and to
commute to work on.
Price Paid:
$265.00
Bike Setup: The frame and
fork make it worth upgrading.I built up a Surly fix/free hub to alex rim for the
rear and a deore/mavic front.The bottom bracket went out quickly replaced with xt
unit.THe bike is set up great now with no problems.
