Customer Reviews

Good Bicycle overall
This is a good bicycle in terms of quality-price.

It is very functional and excellent for the city or for a student in university.

However there is room for improvement:

1) there are no allen keys or screwdrivers that come with the bicycle, so if you are a student ordering this bicycle be aware of this! You will have to spend more money on tools.

2) Whether you like it or not you will need tools because the brakes may become a bit loose at the beginning, the handle bar also becomes loose from time to time and if you are riding on a road which has bumps the vibration tends to unscrew the front mudprotector.

Apart from that this bicycle is ideal for a student at university, if you are looking for something more robust or you have a better budget look somewhere else.
