I have owned this particular bike for 3 months and probably have ridden it in excess of 1000 miles on paved roads and I have been unbelievably satisfied with its smooth ride, durability, and speed. I have taken this time out to give this critique because I really appreciate the performance of this bike. Prior to purchasing it, I rode my "sidewinder" Schwinn which I also grew to really love, although it is more of a mountain bike. The derailleurs and gears on the Midmoor change very nicely without hardly a click. Yes, in agreement with the other commentators, it would be better to be at least 5'9", although I believe shorter riders could still touch the pavement with the front part of their feet and balance this bicycle.
I ordered this bicycle on line and it comes almost assembled. After assembling it myself, with little difficulty, I did hear a scraping noise by the chain rubbing against the guide. I took it in to my local bike shop and had them professionally "tune up the derailleurs" and brakes for a minimal amount. It was like tuning up my Classic Mustang and it really hauled. The problem causing the rub is that the derailler came from the factory a bit low on the frame and caused the chain to rub against the metal guide. It was a minor adjustment and a person unfamiliar with bikes really needs to make absolutely sure that the brakes are adjusted properly, especially if you ride fast like I do. I have been able to outrun many mean dogs on this bicycle out in the country, but would not recommend you have this type of encounter. Best of Luck to you bicyle enthusiasts. You are in for a real treat!
