Excellent commuter and weekend bike
I’ve had this bike for over a year. I primarily use it to commute around town, which often includes me riding with a kid seat on the back and a trailer. I really enjoy riding it. It’s also a great weekend bike. Took it camping to Acadia and it was perfect on the carriage trails. Very glad I purchased it!
One of the best bicycles I have had
I bought this bike as a replacement for a 3-speed commuter. I was looking for a little more gearing, but I didn't want multiple chainrings. This bike gives very useful gearing for most flat, around town rides of 2-7 miles. I was skeptical about the handlebars, but I have come to love them. Great bike for a very reasonable price.
My commute got finally fun
I use the bike every day commute for about 2 miles each way. The seat is comfortable, the shifter is smooth and brakes work great. The bike feels solid overall and I would recommend it due to the amazing price for such a quality bike. Also, remember that Pure Cycles offer lifetime Frame and Fork Warranty!
Great city commuter bike
This is my first bike I have for commuting to work and back. Works pretty well and very sturdy. Would recommend getting some accessories to customize it the way you like.
Smoooth ride...
So far this bike has been outstanding. Really hate the handlebars but all else is great...
