Good Value, High Quality

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I'm 5'11" with shorter-than-average arms, so finding a road bike that fits has been really hard. All of the major manufacturers that make women-specific bikes don't make them for women over 5'9". This bike fits like a glove. I was wary of spending so much for a bike over the Internet. But the bike was easy to assemble, if you know a little bit about bike repair. I didn't have to adjust the derailleurs. The frame arrived with a little scratch on the top tube, but no major damage. I swapped out the pedals because I use a different kind of cleat on my shoe but the ones that come with it have a side for using with cycling shoes and a side for street shoes. I also changed the tires for wider, thorn-resistant ones as I live in an urban area.
