This thread got unnecessarily complicated. It's just a beach cruiser.

If you're tall get the silver one. If you're shorter, or just don't want to swing your leg over the frame, get the blue step-through one.

Mens or womens, who cares? Go to the store and pick up the one that you're most comfortable with regardless of what chromosomes you happen to have.

Good question, but you should have taken the baton, figured it out and posted that for others. That way it doesn't create dynamic 'smart' people don't become overworked servants.


You should have went to Kent's web site and hunted for the size chart they use for their bikes, then also posted it to give back.

Here it is:

Don't mean to unload this all on you. I mean this has how I generally feel.
How do you REALLY feel though?

And technically, you literally responded directly to this person, and presumably had no gun to your head forcing you to write what you did, so you very much did mean to unload it all on them. Otherwise just a new comment would've sufficed Smilie

Maybe you need that Jamaican beach house mentioned earlier? Hope you're ok, sincerely. Take some self care Smilie

Quote from GreenHill9156 :
Those are pluses, with the exception of the steel frame. It's just a cruiser, and that's a perfect configuration for cruising, where less moving parts means less breakage.
You're absolutely correct that for the right use-case these are all potentially big positives. My use of the phrase "nothing special" wasn't intended as a ding so much as a qualification of the deal. This bike doesn't have any novel features for its configuration, but the retail price is also certainly not unreasonable. Of course, if someone were willing a slog through Craigslist for a deal isn't likely too hard for this kind of bike.

To your points, another post already noted using the bike for occasional short trips around the Clear Lake (Houston) area, whose flatness is well-matched to the single speed setup and the (relatively) heavy frame is unlikely to be of any concern. I also agree with you that the steel frame and minimal components would also make this a great loaner bike (they won't get far, and if something happens on the ride the bike would likely come out OK).

I would simply suggest that this isn't the slickest deal anyone could ever achieve, but rather that this is a OK price for this kind of bike (simple and cheap) in this kind of market (bonkers in the case of bikes).

Good luck!
Jon

Quote from jeffricks2051 :
This logic is why most of casual bike riders are riding a wrong sized bike (usually too small, or far too small) for their height.

Instead figure out what sized bike you need, and buy that sized bike when you see it on sale.
But it's just a beach cruiser. Professional bike companies like Trek don't even offer different frame sizes for beach cruisers (though they do have similar step-over and step-through designs).

Nothing special here except the lack of a bloated price considering the bike market the last couple of years.
  • Frame: steel
  • Single speed
  • Coaster brake
In fact, I dare say you could actually do better in the used market (finally).

Good luck!

I need a basic $300 road bike, are those available now?

You're spot-on about the pricing being the everyday price, but this is likely a sponsored deal so no surprise there. Of course, not everyone is using the web interface. Sometimes labeling a deal as a sponsored deal comes as a surprise to some users. I do wonder if we'll ever see those sub-$50 clearance prices on cheap bikes like these ever again. Thankfully, for any properly slick shoppers of cheap bikes plenty of commodity steel bikes like the one being offered in retail here are returning to Craigslist for sub-$100 prices (again).

That, unfortunately, is too much to ask of our supply chain-addled overlords.

Good luck!

I got a cruser bike at walmart from a brickseek deal 2 winters ago. It seemed ok when I tried in an isle. Loading into the car was almost impossible. When I got home I went out for a ride (all flat terrain). It was so extremely hard to pedal that it was beyond a hard workout-- almost painful. I thought I'd just cruise. Maybe it was the way the handlebars were positioned and the seat and pedals but whatever it was wasn't worth it. Make sure you try it out in the parking lot because without a truck or a van it's tough and be ready to take it back car or truck.

Is this one of those "built-to-fail" bikes that petition is going after? Legitimate question as it is hard to tell which ones those are.

Yup. I can't go by sizing charts anyways...I got short legs and long torso....so I prefer step thru, don't know why they 'genderize' bikes like that.

I am a rider who loves bicycles, and I still like bicycles very much, hahaha, I think the gray one is more dirt-resistant, better looking, and looks more understated and stylish, but it is assembled by myself after receiving it, I Always feel unsafe, especially for small children, this one is more suitable for adults

This bike might work for a beater, but personally, I would spend a bit more to get an aluminum frame and 3-piece cranks. Way less rusting involved that way (it will likely last longer), and it will be lighter so it's easier and more enjoyable to ride around.
