Decided to jump into cycling. Researched on web and felt this is a good buy. Bought the medium size base on my height. Not bad for a bike under $200. I spent extra dollar upgrading the seats and paddles (SPD). I like to relative fat tires on this bike in contrast traditional race tires because they don't go flat as easy. The gear shift needed a little adjustment but nothing major. When you buy it online and not in bike shop, you are expected to tweak the gear shift on your own.Plus:Great starter bike for under $200.fat tires - good all weather condition.Con:Not the lightest bike you can buy, but then it's under $200.Pre-drilled holes for one water bottle holder only. I would have give this bike a 5 star rating if it has sets of pre-drilled holes.Would I recommend this bike? yes
