When buying bicycle you are not only buing a bicycle, but also a service. With this bicycle you are getting NO service at all. It is simply a bad deal.

(GMC women’s road bike) I knew that shipping would be awhile, that wasn’t my problem. But I didn’t know it would take as long as it did. I finally got my bike, I got it 4 weeks later from a neighbor that I don’t even know. It was shipped to the wrong house and left there. Ichecked the address and it was my house, so I don’t know what happened with that. Good thing he was honest, it was at his place for a week. Second, I went to the bike shop so they can put it together. I had to pay for 2 intertubes because of a manufacturer deffect on the wheel itself; didn’t fit propperly and air kept coming out. I haven’t been on the road yet, hopefully it won’t fall apart on me. I do like how it looks if that any consolation.

I have seen many of these bikes around town, and all have been in very poor working order. This bike is designed to have the looks of a nice racing bike, but has none of the technology that goes into a decent bike to make it safe and longlasting. The brake calipers are flimsy, and should not be installed on a bike that is designed for the road. Also, the wheels are cheap and easily go out of true. If you do not have the skill to true them, you will have to shell out a good percentage of the original price to get them working correctly. The handlebar is cut in half to install the shifters and then welded back together. There is a lot of force on the handlebar of a bike, from holding your weight, forces when standing, and pulling on the bar. To cut a handlebar severely damages the integrity of the part, even if it is welded back together. Now while at first I had respect GMC for making a road bike that is low cost to let people try road biking, once I saw the bike I was shocked. The bike is not safe to be ridden. I also decided to go to a wal-mart and see one of these bikes for myself. The bike was in very poor working order. The breaks were making contact with the tires, the headset was loose, the seatpost wasn’t tightened down, the derailleur hanger was bent in. The bottom line here is do not buy this bike, it is not safe. If you are interested in getting into road biking and think this bike is a good decision, realize that the money you will put into it to get it to work will not be worth it in the long run. You can purchase road bikes on craigslist and ebay for 200 if you look good enough for long enough. If you’re only looking to put 100 into starting road biking, then now is not the time for you to start. If you would like further info on looking for bikes or why this bike is dangerous, please contact me: hewittd@unc.edu.

GMC Denali Road Bike Please don’t convince yourself that you are buying an actual road bike. Rubber parts are more plastic than rubber. Cheap tires and rims. Looks great though. Aluminum frame. (Just like a beer can). Other than the 4 dollar levers, it’s all big box junk parts with pretty paint. It’s basically a 49 dollar heap made to look like a road bike. You get what you pay for. It’s that simple. If you can justify this in your mind then you’ll get what you deserve. Landfill. A new roadbike can be had for under $500. And if you maintain it, the cost will be much less than the Denali. It will have resale, NOT long gone into a recycleing bin.

This bike is nice to look at but that is about all. I went on what was going to be a 40 mile drive and ended up only going about 18 since the bike broke. I can get the part for free from Kent (when I get all the hoops jumped through) but there is a special tool needed to replace the part. The bike shop wants more that the bike cost to do the repair… So there it sits in my garage awaiting a miricle from the cycling gods.
