I have just begun to start training on a bike, and haven't even touched a pedal for more years than I can count. After looking for a bike that wouldn't break the bank I decided on this one. I am training for a 1/2 marathon and needed to supplement training with something else, and I decided on cycling.I decided on the GMC Denali just on the price point alone. After bike shopping at LBS and looking at entry-levels at 700 dollars, my jaw hit the ground.Out of the box this bike is easy to assemble with any sort of mechanical aptitude. It does take a little bit of tuning up, which is easily YouTubed, but other than that I rode 7 miles my first ride. I have since put 21 miles a week on it for 3 weeks and haven't had the slightest chain chatter. It rides well and I am thoroughly impressed so far. If you are looking for a bike that will not break the bank, this could be the bike for you.
