Description is perfectly adequate. May 25, 2008 Reviewer:  university student "Daryl" (Auburn, AL, USA)  See all my reviews >

To Nolen Clark: The 15", 17", and 19" after the bike names indicate the size of the bike frame. Since this bike is under the 26" Wheel Size grouping, the aforementioned measurements would not refer to anything else. Please do some research before leaving ludicrous comments like "women don't just buy a bike because it is pretty where is the technical info?" The technical information is right in front of you. You're making the rest of us women from Alabama look unintelligent.

nice bike May 12, 2009 Reviewer:  Iowa Mom See all my reviews >

I liked the bike but had to return it. Even with the seat at the lowest possible height, it was way too tall for me. I am 5'4" with very short legs. Hope this helps somebody make a decision.

Great bike for running around town! July 2, 2009 Reviewer:  Happy Dad "Alexander" (Santa Barbara, CA, USA)  See all my reviews >

I got this bike for my girlfriend and she really likes it. I really like how smooth it rides. I guess it's due to the large rim/tire size. For the price this is a great bike. I had a bit of trouble setting up the derailleurs, so I had to take it in to a bike shop, but after they adjusted them properly the shifting works great. By the way, she's 5'7" so if you're a bit shorter, you might want to go with the 15" frame.

Great comfort for price! March 4, 2009 Reviewer:  JT - VeloMan (Neavda City, CA)  See all my reviews >

We are very happy with this bike, as it has all the features for a true comfort bike. The low tube profile is great getting on and off with ease. The components are solid, especially for this price range. The frame has quality welds and all in all, it works as it should.

Thank you Target for adding the technical info & adding it so quickly! (although one reviewer made the false assumption that it was there before I requested it. Typical Auburn student, alas.
