Costumer Reviews

Bike looks good quality for the price, however I needed to remove the back wheel and change the tyre around so that the tread rotates in the right direction. It is not like the front where you can remove the wheel and replace. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND ANYONE TO CHECK THIS BEFORE RIDING THE BIKE ! (I'm somewhat amazed how it could leave the factory like this). If fitting a rack or mudguards you will find a little paint in the treads so just take care not to strip the thread.

I thought I would buy a bike to pop about town without spending a fortune. This turned out to be just the bike for me. One or two issues are that the the back tyre is on back to front, I just left it, more trouble than it was worth to turn around and the saddle was created by satan himself, I covered it with a gell filled cover I got from tesco for 8 quid which improved things no end.
