GOOD BIKE FOR THE CASH

Got it online and picked it up Fully Assembled from a Walmart location. Once out the door I rode the bike to my car.

Nice bike
It's geared a little high for me so I have to pedal pretty fast to go at the speeds I'm used to. I'll get used to it though. My previous bike was a 21 speed mountain bike so that's to be expected. Everything else is great, the seat is much nicer than my old bike. Simple assembly, simple design and quality components ( pedals, brakes, et al ). Great bike for riding around the neighborhood, getting outside and getting a little exercise

Meh
The things I didnt like about this bike were that the center of the handlebar was painted and the top of the stem Is completely smooth so those little bars that grip on either surface were not present so no matter how hard I tighten the handlebars down there they still rotate. This style brake calibers are terrible. And the front wheel is very wobbly so I need to take it to the bike shop and have them tighten the spokes and tru it up. Its an ok bike otherwise

great looking bike worth having
Great color scheme but Kent really has to do something about the brakes on this one. I understand it has a fixed gear hub option where the brakes don't need to be as strong but the frame is already built and they should just attach the linear brakes to this model. If they did that, this would be a 10 star review. Bike looks sleek and super easy to put together.

You can't beat it for the price . . .
Easy to assembly . . . I will probably change to a softer seat . . . Also, will change handle bars to ones more upright . . . Very happy with this purchase . . .

very good price, very good quality
It is a very good bike for a very low price. The size is suitable for men, while the tires are quite big. Although it took a while for me to set up correctly (since the tools weren't handy), I'm enjoying my time with this bike very much.

Gets the job done! Perfect for MOTORIZED bike!
I bought this bike to put a bike engine kit on and it worked out perfect! If you are looking for a fixie that will get the job done or our building a motorized bike this is perfect. If you are builing a motorized bike the common (Skyhawk) 2 stroke 80/66cc kits fit like they are made for this bike! The engine fits without any extra work, the grips, clutch and killswitch go right on, the gas tank is out of the way, its great! The only BAD PART of the bike are the brakes. They are made out of some "Off the shelf" chinese rubber (maybe rubber/ soft plastic?). If you buy some good afterment pads for under 10 bucks, you will be all set!

Great for a motorized bike
This is my 3rd motorized bike. My last two builds were Huffy Cranbrooks. While I am no expert in building motorized bikes, this was probably the easiest so far. The engine mounted perfectly, the rear sprocket was easy to install and the bike is light and fast. I would recommend this bike to someone for a first build since you wont need to modify anything. However, this bike isn't meant for short people. I am 6' and I have to have the seat all the way down in order to ride comfortably. Pros: Steel frame Cons: Plastic crank Tips: Adjust brakes before you ride it. Be sure to install pedals correctly or upgrade to steel pedals.

Good and Cheap (check the wheels!)
I bought my Thruster 700C about a month ago and it has been very decent to me. I got this bike simply to compute to and from campus (USC), which is about a mile away. The reason I rate this product so well is for the quality to price ratio. It is a very great buy for only $99. If you are a serious rider or need to compute distances longer than three miles, I would suggest you purchase something a little nicer, like a Schwinn. A few comments about my Thruster specifically: -Both the front and rear wheels are bent. I realized this only after purchasing it. I don't know if this is standard but MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE WHEELS, just in case! -The seat is rather uncomfortable. Again, not a big deal if you are only commuting a few miles at a time. -The decals/stickers (in my opinion) are pretty lame. I took them off as soon as I got home. -I really like the colors. This bike, although cheap, still maintains a level of "coolness" without looking too cheap or overly flashy. Hope this helps! GO TROJANS!!!!
