Pros: comfortable, value for money, good suspention
Cons: gears are a little difficult to get used too., no stand with bike
"I bought this bike as it was in the may bank holiday sale, it is a great value for money and has a very comfortable ride. I had to buy a stand however this was also value for money. Overall the product was well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone for a quick and comfortable get around bike for roads or off-road."

"I use my bike for zipping about town, it's ideal.
Friendly Halfords staff assited with the build and loading to my car.
Only feedback in hindsight was I was not asked to sit on the bike after the build and the brakes did need adjusting considerable when I got home (but no biggie)
Very happy with my bike : )

"Bought this for my 12 year old daughter, was a bit sceptical when she picked it as I thought at the price it can't be very good. However she was right and I was wrong. Great bike for the price, well built and very sturdy. Would gladly recommend to others. Also great service from the store."

Pros: comfort
Cons: frame size
"I recently bought this bike so I could ride to work in the Summer. I was very happy with it, and the colour is very pretty. I am 5 ft 5 and bought the 17" frame, and the seat is the lowest it could possibly be and it still feels pretty high (The next frame down was too low) but it's not much of a problem. The seat is comfortable, and overall I am very pleased with this product. It was great value for money."
