 Good cruiser, August 31, 2010

I think this is a great bike for the price, easy to assemble and easy to ride. My only real complaint with it has been the kickstand, which is not able to hold up the bike, it frustrates me but wouldn't really bother me if it weren't for the fact that I'm carrying a trailer behind the bike so I can't just toss the bike down anywhere or prop it up against something so the kickstand not working right is very disappointing. The bike itself though has given me no problems, I had to adjust the guards a little to get them angled correctly but it was very simple and the ride has been great since I got it about a month ago.

Comfy cruiser, May 29, 2009
|

This is a really nice cruiser bike. I have had it for about a month now and I love being able to sit straight up and be comfortable while riding. I was even able to carry my son in a baby sling while riding the bike without hurting my back. It has a wide comfortable seat, though it is still a fairly hard seat. My husband had a cusioned seat on his old bike that I now have on this bike, but the original seat wasn't too bad.
I have had a few issues with the gears. I am not able to use all 7 gears. I haven't checked the manual yet, but my husband said there are instructions to make adjustments. Even though I have it in 1st gear, the chain will not stay in first gear. The rest of the gears worked fine until I changed too many gears too quickly (apparently there is a note in the instructions about not doing this). The chain suddenly locked up on me. With a little work back and forth on the pedals it got straighted out, but now all of the gears are off by one number on my shifter. My husband purchased a similar men's bike from Schwinn and he is only able to use 4-5 of his 7 gears.
I have also discovered that if you are wanting to use this for exercise and really work on your ride, this is not a good bike. I am a stay at home mom with two kids and have a trailer so I can get some exercise with the kids along. I find that I don't feel like I have alot of power. I have a desire to lean forward when I have to go up hills or am getting tired to get in a better pedeling position. However, it is very hard to steer straight when hanging on to the middle of the handlebars. We are making it work and I enjoy the comfortable ride when I'm not exercising.

 Awesome Bike!, April 24, 2009

I love this bike!!! It's a cruiser bike with mountain bike like aspects (7 speeds and tires), it was just what I was looking for. Pretty easy to put together without instructions, just realize that the front wheel part is already together, but backwards. Once I figured that out, I was good to go. The seat is so comfortable, doesn't even feel like I'm riding a bike. I was worried about the seat, thinking that I would have to buy another cruiser seat since the advertisement doesn't really say anything about the seat. There was no need to worry, it's super comfortable. I highly recommend this bike to anyone who wants a very comfortable bike to ride and get around on, whether its for fun, fitness or transportation. The color of the bike is awesome too, fuschia and white with some light pink thrown in for good measure. Anyone who likes pink will like the colors used on this bike. All in all, I have no complaints what-so-ever and will be riding this bike for years to come, due to the sturdy frame and style of the bike. I give this bike high marks!!!!

Great Bike! Terrible Seat!!, July 16, 2008
|
|

For the price (and the free shipping!) this bike is a great deal. Very classic looking beach cruiser that rides well. Some other reviews complained of the bike being damaged in shipping. Thankfully, I didn't have this problem, even though it was shipped all the way to Alaska. I did take note of many reviews complaining about the seat, and boy were they right!! The seat it comes with is absolutely terrible. After my first 15 minute ride last night, I awoke this morning with BRUISES on my BUTTOCKS!!! No exaggeration. I will most definitely be replacing the seat before I ride it again. Other than that, the bike is great and I highly recommend it! Just be prepared to shell out more money for a new seat!

 Nice bike...eventually, July 6, 2008

Do not expect to ride this one straight out of the box. Bike arrived with a hole in one tube and a flat tire. Wheels weren't true and the left brake would not work. Paint was chipped as well, so the "Southport" is barely legible. Had I known that getting the bike into "rideable" condition was going to cost an extra $40 I would have purchased directly from a bike store.
