 Great bike for the price. February 3, 2006

You cannot beat this bicycle for the price. It is actually fabricated in the same overseas factories that Giant builds their frames. It also is the same as the entry-level Chinese-imported Trek frame.
As for Mrs. Roberts and her problems......hate to say it, but each and every problem/symptom you described is a symptom/problem indicating a poor assembly and adjustment. You should have taken the bike(s) to a professional bicycle shop and had the mechanic there do a tune-up on your bike....all those problems would and could have been avoided completely. Chain shifting problems, chain-drop and jamming, wheel loose....all adjustment and assembley problems.
Why do I say this? I was a bike mechanic for approx. 7 years and saw many, many bicycles bought from mass-market merchandisers and over the internet with the same exact problems after the poor or unskilled assembly. Even the bikes the "real" bike shops get have to be assembled and adjusted before they are sold. So, please don't blame the bicycle as being defective, blame the root cause.....the poor assembly and unskilled adjustment of the bicycles.

I searched for my wife a bike and everywhere I went, the price was way more than what I wanted to pay. I wanted a bike that was well constructed, lite, and has high rated parts on it. I found this bike and I compared the price with a comparable bike at a bike shop and it was nearly $100 cheaper, plus free shipping. After we received the bike, we were very satisfied of the product except for the seat, but you can purchase a nice gel seat for around $15. Great deal!
TWO MODELS = TWO DIFFERENT SIZES January 20, 2010

These bicycles are supposed to be "one size fits most" but the two different models are different in size.
The light blue one (smooth lines, #S2753) is more like a size LARGE with frame size 19" (seat tube length 19", horizontal top tube is approx. 22 1/2"). Surprisingly it has the same geometry as the male version (also 19"). An average man is taller than an average woman - thus the men's bike should be bigger, right?
The silver/purple bike (sharp lines, #S2699) is a MEDIUM size with 17" frame (seat tube length 17", horizontal top tube is also approx. 22 1/2" but because of the head angle the wheels itself are about 1" closer to each other than wheels of the light blue model - beware if you have long feet). The male version of this model has 18" frame.
As for my best judgement - I would recommend the light blue bike to a woman 5'3" to 5'11" tall with inseam 28-32" and the silver/purple bike to a woman 5'0" to 5'8"tall with 26-30" inseam.
I am 5'9 1/2" tall and the light blue model fits me great.
A note how to measure your INSEAM: Stand barefoot upright and measure the distance between your crotch and floor between your legs. Do not use your pant's inseam measurement since different pant styles may result in different measurements.
I hope this helps. It is really confusing to have reviews of two different bikes mixed together without knowing which refers to which.
Nice bike - nice price August 8, 2005

This bike is just what I've been looking for: a bike that is affordable, well-built, lightweight and a good frame fit. Since buying this bike, I've decided to take up biking for exercise and am very pleased with it's performance. Wish I could've picked the color, though. This bike is a great all-around bike for a woman who wants to ride for recreation and moderate exercise, either on the road or off.
Great ride, getting all you pay for August 13, 2005

This bike rides very well, takes bumps well. I really like the quick-release feature for the bike seat and front wheel. This makes it very easy to adjust the height anywhere and easy to pack in the car. The breaks don't jolt you to a stop, they work smoothly. I will probably get a more comfortable bike seat, though, one of those gel ones, though this one is fine, just a little hard for long rides. I have only had it for a month, but am very happy so far.
