Its a pretty good city bike if ur comfy with the jerks that come along with it on city roads due to the lack of suspension. But its more than compensated for due to the power delivery right to the wheel. the steel frame of the bikes slightly heavy, but sturdier. The gear shift could have been better, but hey, an entry level bike your not getting a ducati. so all in all a solid bike for beginners with a value for money proposition. Great looks and finishing. If ur on the larger side, id recommend a good gel saddle to be on top of hte original one or replace the seat ... all depends on your budget n liking. Ride on!
