I bought this bike last week and received it this past Monday 8/15/11. It came in a proper bicycle box and was delivered right to my porch. Inside, it was packaged professionally. All the parts were there. At this point, I was excited! To make a long story short, it's a great bike for the money. My only ISSUES are that the brakes are a little cheap and the seat is really uncomfortable. But I have several saddles, so I just swapped it out. After I put air in the tires, the bike rode great. It is super fast and super fun, you can really fly on the thing. If you don't want to deal with a multispeed bike and just want the low maintanence of a single speed, then this bike is for you. I spent an extra couple of bucks and bought aerobars for it so I can tuck and really fly. Overall, the bike is really sharp looking, really neat and overall, I'm really satisfied. I gave it four stars b/c of the brakes. Good luck!

At $200, I was very skeptical about this bike since the price is probably one of the lowest you'll find on the market today. However, here I am still riding it and loving every moment of it.

I bought this bike back in August of last year and still use it to commute to work every other day (which equates to roughly a 9 mile round trip). And for the price, I could not complain.

There are a few caveats to the bike however, and that would be the uncomfortable seat and the cheap tires and rim tape that it comes installed it. However, I did not dock it a star because this bike was $200 after all. I replaced the tires with gatorskins and got different rim tape all around and swapped the seat with another bike I had and I haven't had problems since.

Just remember you are not buying the best of the best, but this is definitely a solid entry level bike that will get you from point A to point B.

Ordered on a Saturday and received it on Tuesday, it arrived before I even got the email that it had shipped. The gear ratio is perfect, picks up speed really quickly. Its sharp, light, and looks fantastic. For 200, I don't think you're gonna find a deal nearly as good as this. Assembly was simple.
