Description

Forge combines style, design, functionality and class to create the second model in the Comfort Mountain Series—the Devon CM. Inspired by the newness of spring, the Devon in Derby Green is a great accessory for off to the races or a leisurely afternoon with friends. The ideal crossover bike, the Devon CM is great in overall quality. 17" frame fits most riders 5’4" to 5’8". Note: Frame size is determined by measuring the distance from the center of the bottom bracket (the bolt that locks in the crank) to the top of the seat tube. Stand-over height is determined by measuring the distance from the ground to the top tube. A bike that you ride only on paved surfaces and never take off road should give you a minimum stand-over height clearance of 2" a bike that you ride on unpaved surfaces should give you a minimum of 3" of stand-over height clearance and a bike that you ride off road should give you a minimum of 4" of stand-over height clearance.

Features

All-aluminum, double-butted lightweight frame with integrated rack, child seat and fender mounts
Shimano Altus 21-speed derailleur and Shimano Altus shifters
Kenda 26x1.95" hybrid tires from light off-road to bike paths with Tektro alloy linear brakes for reliable stopping
SR NEX suspension fork to smooth out the bumps and alloy seat post suspension with adjustable clamp for a smooth ride
Forge adjustable stem for optional riding positions and WTB saddle and easy-close fastener grips for comfort and performance

Great value for the $$ August 24, 2007 Reviewer: KR See all my reviews >

I was looking for an entry level bike with comfort features (front fork and seat post suspension, adjustable stem) that I could ride on gravel or paved roads. I shopped around quite a bit before deciding on this bike and I'm very pleased with my choice. My local bike shop wanted at least $100 more for a bike with similar features, so that helped me make the choice. (I probably could have made that up in time spent on assembly and fitting, but price was my main concern at the time.)

I was also concerned about how the bike would arrive after shipping, but it was packaged well and suffered only a few minor paint scratches. I was able to assemble the bike in a few hours with good detailed instructions. However, tuning up the brakes and derailleurs took some patience and several tries over a few days. (If you're not into that kind of thing, buy a bike already assembled at your local bike shop. Don't expect to have a bike mailed to you that you can ride right out of the box!)

The bike rides great and shifts smoothly. The Shimano Altus is low end of the range, but if tuned properly, it works great. It does what it's supposed to do and looks good doing it, too. I like the color (it looks better in person than in the pictures) and that it's not too "girly". The seat is comfortable without being overly cushioned and wide. I also like that it's lightweight. I have no troubles getting it on and off the bike rack, which was another concern I had.

My only gripes are: The [company's] website says this bike has an adjustable stem, which it does not. (An adjustable stem allows you do move the handlebars closer to you for a more upright ride, it's easier on the back) I swapped out the stem with an adjustable one for less than $20, but shouldn't have had to. The website also says tires have Presta valves, but they're Schrader. Minor points, but worth mentioning.

Overall, this is a great bike and you won't find a better buy at any of the chain stores.

UPDATE: 8/11/08 I've had this bike almost a year now and it is still going strong, still shifting smoothly and I've been putting about 60 miles a week on it. I have added a gel seat cover, bottle holder, odometer/speedometer and kickstand. I find myself riding it mostly on paved paths and it is kind of slow because of the knobby MTB tires and the weight of the bike. It's not terribly heavy, but it's no lightweight either. I will probably look for a road bike and keep this bike for trails. You can't go wrong with this bike it's a great buy, but if you have the "need for speed" on pavement, you might want a different bike.
