After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service

Comments about K2 T-Nine Tradewind Bike:

I wanted a flat bar road bike and was ready to convert my Trek, but the price of conversion made me look elsewhere. I spied this at REI at it filled the bill - flat bars, no suspension but a comfy ride, great brakes, perfect fit, nice gears, very reasonable price. I LOVE riding this bike. I will use it to train, to ride around town and to ride Rails to Trails as we travel the US. I paid to put on a nice women's saddle and spd pedals. Shifts smootly every time. I would like to see a 32 on the back and a 26 on the front.
