Bike was well assembled

Great bike - smooth ride
I am a very active 58 year old but wanted another bike to go cruising with a goal of ride enjoyment and comfort. The nice thing about this bike is that you sit more upright and can actually look around without getting a sore neck or wrists from hunching forward on a road bike or mountain bike. The seat is super comfortable - firm but very comfy - no soreness after the first ride or two. I was unsure about this bike - but it is actually quite luxurious in it's feel. It also handles very well. Another note: after getting the shifter properly adjusted for H and L limits, the derailer works perfectly. A nice bike all around.

Lightweight
Purchased online, was expecting bike to be heavy, quite surprised. Rides very smooth, and shifts easily. Well built , and the added rear rack is a plus. Very pleased with purchase.
