I wanted a cruiser type bike for riding comfort and for exercise. I liked this bike for its looks, it matches my wife’s bike and it looks a lot like the first bike I had many years ago and I wanted a bike without gears or hand brakes. This bike meets those requirements.
Like the other reviews stated, I was disappointed in the condition of the bike when it arrived. The front fender had a large dent, the luggage rack was bent, the paint had several chips and scratches. I found the front fender poorly designed and lacking the necessary hardware to attach it. It either scrubs on the tire or hits the frame when turning the wheel.
I like riding it but would not buy it again because of the issues with the front fender not fitting properly.

I was very excited when I ordered this bike. I had searched all over town for a red cruiser style bike, so when I found this one on Amazon for a fantastic price, I had to have it. The Bike arrived four days AFTER the estimated shipping date, which upset me but that is not the seller’s fault. When I started assembling the bike, several pieces of it were damaged.
The front fender (which needed to be put on) was bent and I had to use a vice and pliers to get it straight. The front fender also had a huge dent in it that took a couple of hours to smooth out. The rear fender (which was already attached when I removed it from the box was put on crooked and had minor dents in it. The entire body of the bike also had several chips in the paint. Luckily, I had some red paint that matched it so I took care of it easily. Also, the rear wheels tube was put on incorrectly.
There was also a very weird yellow substance all over the handlebars. I can only deduce that it was some kind of Teflon base oil that keeps the metal from rusting (just like they put on police issue handcuffs).
After fixing it up, the bike was fine. A little minor adjustment to it and it was smooth riding. The bike in of itself is GREAT, but I was very disappointed in the condition it arrived in. AND the fact that I paid for two day shipping and it took 7 days to get to my house. The only thing I would recommend to the seller is that the bikes need to be packaged better in their boxes to avoid this from happening to others. I lucked out being handy with tools, but others may not be so lucky.

This product is excellent, easy to set up on your own (with a few tools), and a lot of fun to ride. It took me a little time to get used to the cannister brakes again, and I’m so used to the 20 inch bikes that I’ve managed to bang my leg on the back tire a few times while getting on, but that’s not the bike’s fault. The only issue I’ve had is the bolt that holds the rear fender in place fell off, forcing me to find a replacement (which I had already, so it didn’t cost me anything). I’m not entirely sure if it fell off while riding, or if it got loosed by my misbehaving eight year old first, so no knock on the back for the bike either.
This is truly a classic bike, and worth the price for those with a budget.
