Yup. I don't get it. Have ridden cantilevers, V-brakes, old Maguras, and now modern discs.
I gave using a roller brake a shot. I don't recommend it. It added drag all the time. It MIGHT be okay for mountain areas since it has such a huge heat-sink with air channeling built in, but the manufacturer suggest NOT using it that way.
My roller brake is now in a box in the garage and I put the V-Brakes back on that bike.
Does the bike come fully assembled if I order online for home delivery?
If you are buying a department store bike and you aren't completely negligent it doesn't matter if it's pre-assembled or not. You should go over every single bolt and screw on the thing to make sure it's properly tightened and adjusted.
I bought a toddler bike for my son from a full service shop last year and I still had to tighten up the headset where they missed it, don't trust Wal-Mart to do what Sun and Ski missed.

THIS. Doesn't matter who assembles. Check everything. Ever-y-thing.
I'm confused. That linked chart says 56"+ for a 26" tire. That is not even 5 feet. Most adults are over 5 feet. Doesn't that make this bike too small?
The Kent sizing chart isn't comparable to more detailed charts which take the geometry of the bicycle into account. So for any given frame a taller rider might find themselves feeling cramped between the handlebar and seat while a shorter rider could find themselves stretching into a more aggressive riding position than comfortable. I'd daresay that the feeling of being cramped between the seat and handlebars is the most common with cost-sensitive bikes, even for (relatively) shorter riders.
Of course, for a cheap, single-speed cruiser bike like this you're (at best) going to find yourself in two size ranges: shorter riders getting the women's option (eliminating any issues that might arise from the higher standover height of the men's model) and taller riders going for the men's option (and hoping that they don't feel cramped and/or stretched). If you're lucky there's enough adjustment available in one or both models to fit your needs for the basic usage for which a bike like this is intended.

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.

That's where I got the presumed height range from.
