I'm getting this bike and I really don't care about what people think about because of it's price. With the gas money I'll save riding this thing to and from work i'll be able to buy whatever bike I want in a year.
I bought this bike anyone know some decent upgrades I could use for the fork, drive train, deraileur, brakes, wheels that wont break the bank. Any suggestions are appreciated
I ride a bike that's worth more than a few dollars, but my first road bike was a red GMC, and I will say that it was a very good value. It was stolen and I eventually got much better bikes, but I would never call this bike ghetto or look down on someone riding it. People who do that have personality issues and are f'd up people in general.
@antifreindly Kent manufactures this bike. If you get this bike you will probably have to replace the brake pads with better ones and do some minor work on the derailers, but it is a solid bike for a good price. Also, the wheels may need to be trued if you order it online and have to do the assembly yourself.
I am quite ashamed with this bike. We have had quite a number of these rolling through the bike shop I work at for repair. Today a customer brought us a new one for a tune up for $40. You truly get what you pay for.
I hope your still enjoying your bike bud. All these guys dissing your bike are a embarassment to the sport. I ride weekly on my Cannondale, and often times wish my friends could join me, but it is an expensive sport. But now more people might be getting into the sport because of a bike like this. So ride it and enjoy it.
@WhatTheHellsAGigawat agreed, they should be ashamed especially in this economy. not everyone has money for an expensive bike, a person gets what they can afford. if someone can afford a higher level bike then good for them but being a snob and dissing others is just asking for a "kick in the balls". i have this bike and for a wal-mart bike it's not thaat bad, all i did was tweak the derailleurs, change the tires to 23c and it does great. going to sell it and upgrade, still a great bike.
To all the "real" cyclist out there you should be happy that people are riding these bikes and helping the sport. Sure it may not be the best bike on the market but for the money, its not bad. And if someone buys this and decides cycling is not the sport for them, then they arent out a bunch of cash. I was surprised to see this level of bike at wal-mart. This doesnt mean I going give up my cabnondale, but I might get one for a beater bike. Ill take the kickstand off though. :D
Are you kidding? Selling this crap on eBay for over $550.00 and they sell it at Wal-Mart for $150.00. These bikes are junk and no rider with any amount of self respect would be seen on one...
lol dude i have the same exact but i couldnt deal with so many people here in my town with the same bike so i got a different color tape for the handlebars i made them yellow and i took all the stickers off and im also going to paint the black...ima make a video like this now lol...check it out people itll be up in a couple minutes maybe
@thisismyusername009 i have the same bike and ive actually seen some people around your height ride road bikes like this so yeah i think you could ride it might have to lower the seat though
I just bought this exact model and it came yesterday. This is my first road bike and I bought shimano clipless pedals to put on it. Is it complicated to put together the bike? I want to try and do it myself b/c the store said it would take at least a week. But, I have never put together a bike before, any special tips or advice I would really appreciate it
sweet, that's a good looking bike. I was just at walmart checking this out, I read a couple of reviews and people say it's a great bike. How do you like it so far? I'm thinking bout getting one soon.
@adwerdz if you are an expert you might want to get something at a higher end, but for a beginner and intermediate levels, it is great. I absolutely love it, it is very light and it gets a lot of attention. I joked with friends telling them that I've bought it for $700 and they completely believed me. real good looking bike. make sure you get the 2010 model, previous models were in blue and not as good looking
@xerxessonofdarius i'm a beginner, i'm trynna step up from mountain bikes to a road bike for exercise and casual riding. I was gonna get it today but held off on it. I'm glad you having a great time with it. Yea the yellow looks cool. I will be getting one soon. Did you get any accessories or anything along with it? Keep us updated with any mods or anything you do to it.
@adwerdz ok, so far the derailers had to be adjusted and tuned, and I don't believe that the guy in Walmart would know how to do it. another thing is skinnier tires would help the ease and speed of the bike, but for now I like the yellow 'white walls that come with the bike, they match. but as soon as they are gone I will put skinnier tires on it
@xerxessonofdarius yea i got one a couple weeks ago and got it tuned, the bike is pretty fast and like u said an upgrade in wheels will increase the ease and speed. those brake pads gotta be upgraded as well.
