4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth ride, well-built, deceptive Amazon shipping weight, February 15, 2011
This review is from: Diamondback Serene Citi Classic Women's Sport Comfort Bike (2011 Model, 26-Inch Wheels) (Sports)
THE PROS:

* Beautiful design. The color is gorgeous in person. The light blue is overlaid with some pink decals of circles and whatnot that don't show too well in the sample photographs, but the overall design is stunning.
* Smooth ride. Thank you, suspension! I've taken this bike out on smooth road, cracked road, grass, dirt trail, pebble trail, and small-rock trail, and it has done decently.
* Solid brakes and tires.
* Lifetime warranty on the frame.
* Bicycling is so easy it almost feels like cheating! My first day out on the bike, I rode it for one hour, no problem. The 10-minute drive to the office only took me 16 minutes on the bike. Excellent!

THE CONS:

* My seat is cruddy and/or defective; it squeaks.
* Gear shifting is generally smooth, but there are a few settings where the chain/bike is unduly noisy. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.
* Construction CAN be confusing out of the box. I recommend that those who haven't a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for an overweight, out-of-shape newbie, February 28, 2011
I got this bike to get me back into being active. I have had some bikes, always hand-me-downs and men's bikes. After set-up, which I had to get a friend to do, (not a big deal to me, I am not very mechanically savvy), I was able to adjust the seat, get on, and go.

It is definitely a Cruiser, so think, big, heavy, and super-comfortable. It isn't so heavy that you can't walk it easily down the sidewalk, or take it upstairs if you have an apartment some floors up, but definitely heavier than I am used to. It supported my 250 lbs just fine, and the suspension on the seat was awesome.
I do get the loud clanking in some of the middle gears like one reviewer brought up, I'm not sure if I am doing anything wrong either. Other than that, I have no complaints after getting on and riding for a couple hours.

I love the color so much, I'm going to paint my bedroom like it (but not as metallic). I wish I could find a helmet to match.
I would highly recommend this... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to assemble & comes with instructions!, July 21, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I wanted a bike that I could rely on for getting back into riding but I didn't want to spend too much on it until I knew I would keep up with the habit so I opted for this Diamondback. The bike arrived quickly and undamaged and was easy to assemble. The brakes were assembled too (not the same for other bikes we have purchased) and it also comes with assembly instructions and all the needed tools! There were only a few steps for assembly and we were off and riding within about 30 minutes with a bike trailer attached!
