I bought this bike back in late August 2013, had a car accident which led me to be unable to use it for a few months, but I'm getting back to biking and have hit 300 miles total with this back. It's my first good quality bike that I've had since I was 11, and I had a walmart bike which I promptly returned right after ordering this online from Bike Nashbar on a sale (totaled $360 at that time). I'm a programmer and know how to build computers, so I thought why not bikes as well? My purpose was at first for recreational, but then, the aspect of riding occasional simple trails coupled with usual road riding attracted me to have dual sport as my first real bike. Which comes down to features I was looking for, 1) gearing for the major climbs in my city, 2) disk brakes if I was going to ride in the rain, 3) suspension for the occasional trails, 4) not very heavy.

Love this product!!! My heels were very thick and cracked so it took a lot of time to get them smooth. However it was very easy and painless - you can do it while watching TV. My feet now look the best that they ever had but I had to replace the head and the batteries after the first use. Maintaining them now is much easier and the heads and batteries last much longer.

Just what I needed, helped me pass the class. Best of all it has actually interesting article in it.
