Nirve B 1 Cruiser 1 speed Men's Tempest Bicycle (Black) Review

Nirve B 1 Cruiser 1 speed Men's Tempest Bicycle (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bike for my wife for her birthday and she loves it. It features high quality construction, a great paint job, and a very nice ride. A couple things to note however:
First, the powder blue color that is featured in the photo and the description is not what I received. The bike that was delivered is navy blue (this is more a criticism of Amazon than the bike). Fortunately, my wife still loves it.
Second, the assembly process was not as straightforward as I was expecting. The bike comes with much of the bike assembled, but you do have to spend some time putting on the handlebars, the fenders, the seat, and the front-brake. The instructions were insufficient, leaving out important steps and causing me to have to undo steps and redo them as I figured out the proper way to put the bike together. That said, I was able to get through it, and it turned out to be a rewarding, though time-consuming, process.
A couple tips to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did: 1) be sure to fasten the rear reflector before tightening down the fender. 2) be sure to attach the front fender before rigging the front brake. These are probably obvious if you've worked much with bikes, but as I said, the instructions are vague.
All in all, and now that it's put together, I'm very satisfied. By the way, this was for the single-speed bike. I'm not sure how much additional assembly would be necessary for the three-speed version.

Schwinn Southport Men's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

It was just what I expected of a US$160 bike with no aluminum frame. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. So many people admire my bike... inlcuding me of course! It's such a great looking bike for that money and with great geometry. I'm 6'1" and I feel pretty comfortable although I usually don't ride for more than one hour.
The breaks did require a bit further tweaking but still deserves 5 stars.

My 26" Huffy "Good Vibrations" bicycle is a very nice bike. It is wide enough to fit a large man. It looks large and heavy, but it really is light and rides very smooth. The wide tires allow easy ride on grass, sand, and dirt. I've really enjoyed my bicycle rides around town along with my wife and kids. I recommend this smooth ride.

I love the look of this bicycle. Received in good condition. Fairly Easy assembly. Seems to have solid construction. The seat doesn't seem to tighten as much as I would like but that could be an issue with the user instead of the actual bicycle construction. Rides smooth. This bike has wide handlebars which I couldn't tell by just looking at the picture. Overall, a good bike for the price. This bike is definitely worth the price.

Bought as a gift for my daughter. She asked for a light blue and the only one I could find at a brick & mortar was $235.00 and didn't look any nicer then this one. She has been enjoying it and said it is perfect in every way.

Mongoose Women's Estes Bicycle (Blue) Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this bike from KMart on super clearance. If I told you how much I paid, you'd never believe me. Point being, the price above is much too much for a discontinued bike. The seat was murder. I went biking and struggles to complete 9 miles. So glad I turned back when I did because I'm still in pain from Sunday and it's Tuesday. I highly recommend changing this seat. It feels like you're being branded like a cow to the bone...seriously. This bike is very sturdy. I weigh a lil over 200 lbs, but I love outdoor activities. This bike does lose a lil bit of efficiency on gravel, but the factory tires handle very well. I would recommend this to a beginner biker like me, but not someone learning to ride. This bike is not very lightweight and would not be "fall friendly."

Just got the bike and it looks ok. BUT the Seat, Seat post and Peddles are missing.
I'm not going threw the hassle of returning the thing, that was probably there plan all
along anyway. I will just put a cheap seat on it and I have spare peddles. It is a shame
that you can't get things complete anymore. You do get what you pay for with this bike.
Just not all of it.

I really like this bike. My friends have compared it to riding an arm chair it's so comfortable. Here is everything that is wrong or has gone wrong with it:
-two of the bolts to attach the seat were missing. $5 to replace
-a tube went flat immediately. $5 to replace
-the rear derailleur up and broke. $35 to replace
Despite this, it was still worth the money and when the bike is working, I like it a lot. A lot of strangers admire it.

My wife had to have this bike, it was very inexpensive but looked great. When it was delivered which took about 5 days, it was very easy to put together. Some of the cons are that the fenders and chain guard are very flimsy and the rear tire was flat from the start so I just replaced the tube. Overall its agood deal for the money but I only expect to get 3-5 years of use. You do get what yopu pay for?

Love the bike. This is my very first bike, and it rides smoothly. Like the color. The seat is convertible (love it). At first I thought, I shouldn't of bought the bike on line, because it might be difficult to assemble it. I was wrong, when it got to my home it was partially put together and all I had to do is put some of the parts myself (all guess work, it was that easy). Would I buy another Huffy bike for a friend or for my future self? The answer is yes, and also because it was the cheapest on Amazon.

Schwinn Network 7 Women's Hybrid Bike (700C Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this bike after trying for about 3 weeks to get Amazon to ship me the Schwinn Discovery. I'm happy to say that it is a good bike, even though it wasn't what I originally wanted. It is a bit heavy, but not so much that it's difficult to get up and down the stairs of my apartment. It provides a smooth ride even over bumps. I'm used to riding mountain bikes so it took a bit of getting used to, but now I'm in love. Also the bike is a bit large, I'm just under 5'5 and it's very nearly too big for me(I have to drop the seat all the way down) so if you're a shorter woman this may not be your cycle of choice. I'm also a big fan of the fact that the rear rack matches the bike so it doesn't look like an after thought. It also makes the bike great for a commuter.I would have given a full five stars, but when I received and assembled my bike the wheels were not true and there were some issues with the gearing. I had to take it to my local sporting goods store to have it adjusted because those things were beyond my skill set. Now if I can find a good set of panniers or a basket to mount on the back rack I'm all set.

Schwinn Miramar Men's Comfort Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Schwinn Miramar Men's Comfort Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

I ordered this because I'd seen another Amazon review saying the assembly was easy, and I was happy to find this is true for me too. Since there are no directions, I thought I'd do my part by giving other buyers a couple of tips. You will need a couple of hex wrenches -- I already owned one of those little Craftsman sets with all the sizes attached to the plastic grip handle. You will need the inch measurement ones, which is the set with the orange handle. This is the only tool required. You will need a pair of household scissors, too, and an air pump for the tires.
The bike will arrive with the handlebars detached and folded over by the cables and strapped to the bike frame with a plastic fastener strip. The front wheel and the seat post (with the seat already on) are also on the side of the frame. Cut the fastener strips off. To put the front wheel on, find the axle in the little cardboard box, put it through the wheel after uncrewing the axle cap so you can put it through the wheel. Now just put the axle through the front fork and flip the end lever on the axle to hold the front wheel on.
Put the seat post in, and then turn the lever on the band which adjusts the seat until you have the height and direction of the seat where you want it, and lock down the lever.
To put the handlebars on, first take the protective black cap off the end of the handlebar post. You do need to hold the handlebars just the right way because the cables are already attached, which is good in the long term. It took me about three minutes of trying several positions until I figured out how to slip the handlebar post in, but eventually the light bulb came on over my head and it was simple. Once they were in, it was a snap to put the handlebars where I wanted them. I took the protective little black cap off the adjustment nut at the top of the stem, and used the Craftsman allen wrench. Turning the nut makes the bottom of the handlebar stem 9down in the bike frame) expand and this holds the handlebars in position. After adjustment, put the protector cap back over the nut to keep the rain and dirt off the nut.
Now pump up both tires, and you are almost done. Now you just have to fasten the front brake cable. Use a smaller allen wrench from the Craftsman set to slightly loosen the nut which holds the cable, and thread the cable through the little holder bar on the left, and then put the cable back where it originally was, and tighten it. You can look at the back brakes to see how it goes.
The pedals are in the cardboard box with the axle for the front wheel, and they are labeled L and R so just match them to the L and R stickers on the crank arms, and screw in the pedals. You are done!
The whole thing did take me an hour, but that's because I had to figure it out. Now that you have the steps, you can do it all in half and hour, easy. Happy riding!
