HILAND 700C Road Bike, 14 Speeds Sport Bike, Light Weight Aluminum Frame, Racing Bike for Men Women Adult Bicycle

This bike is amazing, it was easy to assemble and the first ride went smoothly. The derailleur caught once but was easy enough to reset but no issues were had on a 20 mile bike ride out of the box. Will update in the future!

I'll start with this; the bike is great value for the price. It's a good starter road bike, and meets my expectations as a lifelong cyclist.The welding is good, the plastics don't feel cheap, and the tires are good enough for the first 200 miles I'd say. The box comes with all of the tools you need to assemble and make adjustments. The bike is also stylish, if you're one for aesthetics.There is certainly room for improvement though. To start, the seat isn't very good, especially if you're thin but heavy. Invest in a better seat when able, if you get this bike. Secondly, the plastic pedals should be swapped out for some aluminum pedals if you plan to commute with this bike. And lastly, I'd like to point out that the gear shift levers will be very stiff for a while, but they should break in over time.On matters of optimization and maintenance, be sure to adjust the break pads, because they'll likely be crooked. Also, be sure to adjust the cable tension on the brakes themselves, as they'll likely be a bit slack.All in all, its a good bike that, with a few modifications, can be elevated to a great bike for it's price point. I think a beginner or casual rider would be delighted with it.

I've had this bike for about a year and a half or about 2000 miles, it has far exceeded my expectations. At its price point I guess I expected it to be an uncomfortable mess that falls apart after a few weeks. It's been a solid performer and makes for both a reliable daily driver as well as a solid piece of equipment for both long rides or short sprint workouts.Most of the other reviews mention the same missing screw over and over. I do remember that mine had fallen off in shipping, but I found them in the box under one of the flaps. I wonder how many people who's were missing got thrown out with the box.It took me a little while to get everything adjusted and tightened down, but once I did I never had a problem again. The shifting and drivetrain are dependable, once I got the derailleurs dialed in I never have to worry about the chain slipping or falling off the chainring.I did have to order a stem riser, the handlebars are very low, which was a problem for me when I got it because I wasn't used to being in that riding position, I didn't have a lot of experience on a road bike. Because of its price point I suspect a lot of riders who choose this bike will have the same problem.The customer service so far has been pretty great. About a year into ownership I reached out to the amazon seller about the specs on replacement parts, and they've happily answered quickly every time I do.Its definitely not the lightest or most aero bike on the market, but it doesn't exactly make me yearn for something lighter or sleeker. Mine weighs 28lbs currently, it's easy enough to carry up and down stairs, and I don't feel like its weight is hurting me on climbs.I've been training quite a bit on this bike this summer and I've made massive gains in personal performance, honestly I get a special kind of joy riding this bike blowing past riders on one to two thousand dollar bikes on my local bike trails.Overall I've been very happy with this bike, and would probably recommend it to friends who were looking to get into cycling

The media could not be loaded. I selected this bike based on all the great reviews, as I wanted a good commuter bike. Not two months later I am coming down a hill at night at a high rate of speed, and the left crank came loose and almost fell off. I took it to a bike shop to discover the square of the crank was stripped at the factory and looked more like a circle. It's frustrating to have problems with a two month old bike with a part that was pre-assembled, and this could have potentially caused a serious injury.I reached out to Hiland customer support and provided my amazon order screenshot with address and purchase date and asked them to send me a new crank. They responded with "Why don't you buy one on amazon and we will refund you the cost?" and provided a link to a generic (non factory matching) crank. I responded with "Why don't you send me one so I am not incurring additional expense and waiting for a refund?" They said, "Sure, this will take two weeks." I didn't wish to wait two weeks, so I bought the 170mm square hole replacement crank. Only when it arrived, it is a bit longer than 170mm, so now I will have to buy an entirely new crank set to ensure the length actually matches. Hiland should have done the right thing and sent a matching factory crank as this was obviously a defective unit on delivery. Further, the gear shifts, even when fully flush with the tightening screw, STILL rotate around the handlebar when you try to change gears - which is also dangerous and in need of modification. The white handlebar wrap - which gets dirty easy and looks bad on a black bike - is already coming undone and looking like a ragged mummy, so this will also need replacing. All said, I will have spent an additional 100+ to get this new bike functional. A highly frustrating experience with Hiland and, hindsight being 20/20, I would have selected a different bike.
