Customer Reviews
Recently, i moved to Chicago for grad school and for the first time in my life, was bike-less :( Coming from the West, Chicago is well, FLAT to say the least. Knowing this before moving, i opted to leave the DH bike at home and look for something new. I should probably mention that i worked in a bike shop for years, have fixed thousands upon thousands of bikes (not joking) and am generally a hands on kind of guy with a passion for high end stuff. However, coming here, i needed something inexpensive to get around the city. Something with axle nuts and no quick releases, so i don't have to worry about theft. Something with a single gear, so i don't have to worry about any significant maintenance. Something that's light-ish, and quick - ah ha, the HASA.
When i saw this bike it was a done deal. Firstly, it has a Reynolds 520 frame, not Hi-tension steel, which is standard on most department store disasters and single speeds in the price point. Yeah, i know 520 is bottom of the barrel Chrome-moly, but its a whole bike for less than $300 I've paid more for a single derailleur. The build is good - aluminum where you want it and in general the parts are pretty decent. It comes with Kenda tires which is nice and the wheels do have Weinmann rims. The crankset is generic, but a little nicer than some others of equivalent value, overall, I'm impressed with the build. Recent outings to local shops would suggest that this bike would cost around the $500 in city, so this is a significant savings. In fact, i haven't seen another bike of the same quality for this kind of money any where else online or in a store.
The factory handle bar is way too wide so i immediately cut 2" off each side. The factory seat looks great, but i found it a little stiff, so i replaced with with a more ergonomic one. I also added some toe clips. Like any bike that comes in a box, it will need a proper tune once you get it home - these bikes come 70% assembled, which basically means you have to check everything I would recommend removing all important bolts and re-oiling/greasing them to get proper tension. I usually don't use loc-tite on my bikes unless there is something that continually loosens - grease makes getting bolts out later, much easier. I often re-dish, tension/true the wheels on a new bike as they are often poorly dished from the factory and can become out of true through the shipping process. Overall, my bike arrived intact, with a few small chips on the stem, no bid deal. This is the first bike that i bought through Amazon and it was pretty painless.
Bottom line. This bike is great value and has decent parts for the money. It works well as a city bike or anywhere there are flat-ish areas to ride. Keep in mind, it only has one gear. I haven't ridden it fixed yet, or plan to. I am about 6 feet tall and the 56cm is about perfect for me. Any gripes about the bike i don't really like the plastic brake lever housings, but that's an easy change if you want.. other than that, not really.
Happy Cycling.
