"I reserved my bike online but couldn't pick it up for a few days. The customer service person I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and contacted the store, he then rang me back to let me know it had been arranged that they would keep the bike for another 2 days – when I was able to pick it up.
Great bike by the way!"

"Seriously discounted and seems to be a lot of bike for the money. Used a couple of times now, gears a little clunky, saddle not the most comfortable I've encountered, and not as light as some. However, you couldn't expect any more for the proce. I'd recommend it."

"I purchased this bike on sale as a means of cyclcing the 2 miles to and from work. The bike works fine, but the gears are a bit of a pain. They work fine, but when you get to the extremes of the back gears you have to adjust the front changer or the chain rubs. In addition if you are too heavy handed changing into the top front cog, you can push the chain past the main cog which can be an interesting moment when on a busy road."

Pros: feels good quality, pannier rack and bell
Cons: grip shift gears
"A great town bike. Really appreciate the pannier rack and bell already attached, and the bike feels very sturdy. Was worried it might be a little heavy, but despite looking bigger than my last hybrid, it is actually lighter and a lot faster. Not the quickest gear shift but that doesn't matter to me.
For the price this is an excellent bike."

Pros: build quality, speed, rides well, value for money, good brakes
Cons: slight clunky and delayed gear change
"Purchased this bike 2 weeks ago and have used it every day.
I am very happy with my purchase.A good solid bike that is quite light yet feels sturdy and gives you confidence at speed.
Ideal for my daily cycle to work and back. Only slight negative is that the gear change can be a bit "clunky",(but this might need adjusting at the 6 week check) but no other niggles so far.
Good value for money and I ordered online and picked up my assembled bike on the day that Halfords said it would be ready."

Pros: inexpensive
"After the Olympics, I made a decision to get fit so I decided to buy a bike. I decided to get a hybrid so this one caught my eye as it was a good price with a pannier, lights and mudguards included.
It has a comfortable seat, easy to operate gears and rides very well."

Pros: solidly built, good mudguards, built in rack, very light
Cons: uncomfortable saddle, akward handlebar orientation, terrible gear shifting system
"I only had this bike for 30 hours before returning it. I had an Apollo Highway before someone stole it. Great bike. I put 1200 miles on it in 6 months with no problems (I only use the bike for my commute to work, but it is a long commute). After it was stolen, I was going to buy the same bike again but was talked into switching to this bike at the last minute. The big selling point for me was the fact that it had a rack and was slightly cheaper. I figured that most hybrid bikes on the lower end should be mostly the same, so it wouldn't be a big deal. Boy was I wrong.
On the plus side, the bike was lighter than I expected, was solidly constructed and had fast tires. The mudguards were also of very high quality. However, the bad far outweighed the good. The seat was incredibly uncomfortable. The shifting mechanism was not reliable, as you had to move halfway past the gear you wanted to get the chain into the correct gear. At first I thought this was an issue with a poorly adjusted gear shift, but then I noticed it happened shifting up or down. Gear shifting should be smooth, and correct the first time. The handlebars were at a weird angle for gripping them, something I should have noticed right away. I had to twist my wrists awkwardly to grip the bars. There were several other minor issues such as poor grip on the handles and a very loose chain that slapped the frame when you were either not peddling or going to fast for the gear you were in. Those problems could be fixed with new grips and tightening the chain though.
Basically, as I thought of all of the things I would have to replace and fix to make this bike work for me I figured it wasn't worth it when I could pay just a little more, get the Apollo Highway and get a comfortable saddle, natural grips, and a far superior gear shifting system."
