Almost Good Enough. I have ridden this bike for more than a year. It was my primary car. It has not fallen apart as some have said it would. It is also not the fastest ride on the block. I commute 5 miles daily and a longer 13 mile ride about once a week. It is good in that it is a bicycle that works. The main problems I have encountered are, where to mount the lights, (grip shifters sit in the exact spot that the headlight should), and how do you attach a cargo rack? The ring that tightens down the seat post is the only place to attach the rack, which makes it extreemely dificult to tighten the seat post. Also, the allen bolts used to tighten the seat post are fairly soft. I would prefer other shifters so that I have the bar space to work with for lights and a speedometer. As it is I have an extension bar attached to the headset for my peripherals. I have saved enough in gas that it has paid for itself already. Please note that part of the problems with this bike stem from the use of non standard parts. Because the seat post and down tube are so large, I cannot put on a quick release ring. Because the Aero rims are drilled for Schraeder valves, it is very difficult to replace the tubes. (if there is one thing you will need to replace on any bike, it is the tubes)Also, you will need to replace the brake pads as soon as you can.
GMC Denali Road Bike (Medium 22.5″/57cm Frame, Blue). The bike is the cheapest one. But it’s really nice!
