Love it! Perfect for my Needs
Yes , I recommend this product
Former roadie turned foldie turned flatbar rider. Converted back to drop bars and paved and gravel paths. This bike is ergonomically correct for me and such a joy to ride. Great on accents, descents and flats. Occasionally I do get a bit numb below the wrists which I presu6is due to the width of the handlebars, but I can adjust as needed. REI custom ordered the 2x and I couldn't be happier.
