  • Tektro IO mechanical disc brakes provide positive stopping power no matter the terrain or weather—great for navigating traffic on rainy days
  • Features puncture-resistant Vittoria Randonneur 26 in. tires mounted on lightweight, double-wall Alex TD24 rims, for speed, agility and durability

Nice bike, needs better gears

Goretex Guy at REI (2009) on 12/17/2008
Rated: ***
A good bike for general riding, but why 2 chainrings, not 3? A 28 chainring x 28 cog doesn't give you a lot of help climbing hills. You'll need to be in good shape if you want to go uphill on this bike. I'd recommend a 24 x 28 as a minimum if you live in a hilly place like Seattle.
