I'd recommend this bike to just about anybody, although I might suggest looking into the internal gear options over the derailleur if possible.By Mark / Last updated - Febru/ Co-op Cycles, Hybrid Bikes, Reviews Now it's one of my favorite bikes I've ever owned, and was well worth the investment. I've been using it pretty much daily over the last few months, putting it through its paces to make sure the issue has been resolved. I need to give huge props to the customer care team especially Danielle, whose hard work and communication made what would normally be a rage inducing experience pleasant. Which was resolved by a visit to the partner shop and then later on a visit to a local shop. My experience with this bike was not great to start though and I rolled unlucky when I originally got it, and had derailleur issues. It's great on the roads and has a surprising amount of power. It's a solid frame road bike so make sure you know the terrain you're going to be using it on, no off-roading obviously. ![]() First thing first, this is a very aesthetic bike and you're going to get a lot compliments on it. ![]()
