a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: August 29, 2012 Strengths: This bike does what I want it to, I get my morning commute and vary the route to take advantage of some gentle green tracks locally. I'd be confident to take it a lot further afield and put on only limited mileage so guess I won't be wearing it out anytime soon. After sales included free servicing for a year so the bike has been well tended too. I don't think this bike can be criticized for not doing anything well, I rather think that is up to the rider. Weaknesses: Grips are pretty thin and I have had some wrist stiffness. I could argue it's a big heavy but I carry a lot of gear. It looks very attractive to thieves so have to carry a dirty big lock(s) I will change the tires eventually but have not had problems with punctures. The British model (mines a sports disc) come with Borough XT's Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 10 months Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Steels cycles, Newca Similar Products Used: I looked at a lot of other bikes and this was the best all rounder. Bike Setup: I added full length reflector guards, a rear rack, lights and computer. Plenty or room for adaptations and customized versions on the www

a Weekend Warrior Date Reviewed: June 19, 2012 Strengths: I love this bike. I use it for commuting every day to work (4.5 miles one way), and for fun rides 15-20 miles on the weekend. It is comfortable, rugged, and a smooth ride. Weaknesses: My only complaint is that I needed a heavier back wheel. Keep in mind I was 320lbs+, so much heavier than the average rider. My local bike shop hooked me up with a wheel with a heavier weight rating and I haven't looked back in the 3 years I've been riding my bike. Despite my extra heft, the bike is lasting like a champ.

Brooke Date Reviewed: May 3, 2012 Strengths: I love the strength of the frame and how easy shifting is. I am able to keep up with my friends easily while they are on their super-light road bikes, while still being able to go off-roading much faster than them. It is very comfortable and adjustments are super easy to make when needed. Weaknesses: The seat was a bit too stiff for me, so I had to change it out, but otherwise everything is great! Bottom Line:

a Commuter Date Reviewed: September 28, 2011 Strengths: frame. I love how the frame is design and the design helps any rider to feel comfortable on it Weaknesses: The components set could be better, but still the original components run smooth. the weakest part is the wheel. I am over weight and I use rear rack all the time, but this would not give an excuse for my rear wheel to be broke after 1500 km Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Comute Price Paid: $720000.00 Purchased At: Meli puoshan Bike sh Similar Products Used: Giant sick, Cannoldale bad boy and giant CRX 3 and 2

a Recreational Rider Date Reviewed: January 31, 2010 Strengths: The 700 wheel set with higher inflation pressures was immediately noticable, even though these wheels are not top of the line by any standard. The XTR drivetrain is very good, with zero miss shifts. The cable disks are decent once burnished in. The standard saddle is supprisingly good, but it just may be my sit bones. Weaknesses: Initially the Shimano disk brakes sucked. The front brake screached for the first 7-8 long rides. Finally the brakes seated or burinshed and things have been fine since. Cable disks take some getting used to, but for the exclusive greenway use they are fine. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Wynnsong Price Paid: $1000.00 Purchased At: Bike Zoo Similar Products Used: Tested several Trek urban bikes, a Marin urban bike and a Felt urban bike, all of which had rigid front forks. Bike Setup: Box stock so far. I could see replacing the front fork someday, but again this is a pure greeway bike.
