    This bike was a 70th birthday gift. I wanted to upgrade from my Edgewood Diamondback( a retirement gift to myself) I went to a regular bike store and got properly fitted, told salesperson how I rode and where. I could hardly wait to try it and I was not disappointed. everything works so well on it. A wonderful upgrade for me, love it.

      I bought this bike a month ago primarily for exercise. Used it this weekend on a "pub pedal" with friends, riding approx. ten miles. This is a great value for the money! Steep hills are no problem, on or off paved surfaces. Handles very well under all situations. Very efficient gearing will give you maximum drive for very little effort. During our pub pedal, I started off lollygagging in the back, chatting with newbies like myself. Very easy to ride and pedal. As the day progressed, I started to "push" the bike more to see what I could get out of it. It did not disappoint. I was able to ride with the big boys with little effort on my part. On one long stretch "I opened it up" and pushed it as hard as I could...this bike can cruise! Later, I followed a buddy briefly off-road, up and down some grassy hills. Again this bike did not fail. I haven't really tried any serious off-road stuff yet...can't really claim how it will compare to a true mountain bike for long periods of time over rough terrain. I certainly would not be afraid to try it, though! I just love this bike! Versatile...very efficient gears...handles great. When I stop riding, I can't wait to get back on it.
