Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This bike is a great investment. I'm assuming you're new to road biking, or you wouldn't have gotten this bike in the first place. It's the perfect training bike for a beginner with simple gear shifters and parts. You will have to get use to the positions and braking, but after that, it's a thrill to ride. I just went on my 5th bike ride on it, and went 42 miles without a hitch. Be delicate when shifting so don't shift when you're pushing hard. It's light compared to other bikes in its category. If you're on a budget and need good items, get the following on Amazon: I did tons of research before purchasing these items. They are the cheapest in their category, but offer the most features. 1) patch kit 2) Continental 42 mm Presta Vale Tubes 700x25c 3) BV Bicycle Strap-On Saddle Bag / Seat Bag Size L (Bag is so large it blow your mind. Fits two tubes, two tools, patch kit, and wallet) 4) Avenir Alloy Water Bicycle Bottle Cage
