Great bike if you can it around $100

On: 2007-12-22

I bought this bike for my wife and we didnt want to pay a lot for something well only use occasionally. Im pretty good with my hands, so I didnt think the assembly was any problem. All I had to do was attach the handle bar to the shaft, bolt on the front tire, bolt on the pedals, assemble the bike seat, and install the fenders. I had to adjust a fenders a bit to ensure they dont rub against the tires. It helped to have the right tools. All in all, an excellent bike for the money. The ride is great! She enjoys it a lot.

PUT 30 LBS. IN BOTH TIRES, BLEW BOTH THE TUBES UP. USED A HAND PUMP SO WOULDNT PUT IN TOO MUCH. THEY CALL FOR 40 TO 60 LBS. NEVER GOT ANYWHERE NEAR THAT BEFORE THEY EXPLODED, CALLED AND WAS SENT 2 NEW TUBES. WORKS OK SO FAR. NOT TO BAD A BIKE FOR A CHEAP PRICE.

Bad Buy

The bike arrived with a dented rear fender. Screws were missing. Decals and paint were sloppy. Front tire exploded while sitting in my den . Instructions were for other bikes. wheels woiuld not move because of fenders rubbing. Disassembled and sent back. It is better to walk than to buy this bike.

Great look, Nice frame, Dissapointing ride

I wanted a bike to ride around on unpaved trails on my few acres in the country. This retro designed, one speed, steel framed, coaster braked, comfort bike seemed to be the ideal choice. When it arrived, I pulled out the tool box and set to work assembling it. The first frustration was that the instructions for assembling this bike are NOT included in the manual (which seems to cover every bike but this one). How hard could it be to write up instructions (with tool specifications)for EACH model they manufacture? A one page flyer could have done the trick. To further complicate matters, some of the models in the manual are assembled using metric tools and others call for standard sizes.

It turned out that I couldnt complete the assembly, because I couldnt find a tool to handle the quick release hardware for the seat attachment. I had to take the bike to a bike shop to complete the assembly. Even the bike shop had problems with this bike, because there is so little clearance between the fenders and the tires. I watched while they had to bend the sides of the back fender out by hand, so that it wouldnt rub the tire.

When I got the bike home, the first thing that I did was to adjust the seat to the correct height, and take it out for a ride. Within 10 seconds the seat slipped all the way down. The quick release handle cant hold the seat in place with the weight of a rider on it (Im not that heavy). Chrysler should have taken the retro design a step farther on this, and drilled holes in the seat stem for a rod insert to adjust the seat height.

Rather than try to dis- assemble this and box it up to return it...I will check to see if I can drill the seat stem myself to get the seat secured at a ridable height. Its too bad they couldnt come up with a workable design for such an essential part of the bike as the seat height adjustment! The points I do give here are for the otherwise sturdy frame, and tires that will work well for unpaved trails...when I can finally ride this.
