Simcoe Step Through Classic i7 Cruiser Bicycles

Love the 7-speed internal hub. Shifts very smoothly.Don't love the lack of assembly instructions, but assembly wasn't terribly difficult to figure out. You'll need to install the handlebars, front wheel, front fender, front brake, and the seat.After assembly, you'll need to adjust the front brake, also without instructions.Mine came well packed, but the piece of plastic protecting the place where the front wheel mounts onto the fork fell off, and the fork was slightly bent.The sheet-metal parts of the bike are the only components I had trouble with. Specifically, the crank rubbed against the chain guard, and the front fender rattled at two points -- where it attaches to the fork, and where a chrome accent piece is attached.In a nutshell, the annoyances are fairly easy to fix, the vibe is cool, and the main components: frame, wheels, tires, brakes, internal hub, and shifter all seem pretty nice.Amazon advertises the model I bought as "22 inches / large." It's not. On the step-through, the measurement refers to the seat tube, and the length of the larger model is 20 inches, which is "medium."In the US, a step-through is a women's bike. In Europe, not so much. Even in the US, most of the rental bike fleets use step-throughs.This particular bike has a wide range of adjustment available for seat height. So my plan is to replace the seat-post clamp with a quick-release and to share this bike among 2 woman (around 5' 5") and 1 guy (6' 1").It seems like a pretty cool and flexible cruiser. Even for guys.

My Son got this for me for my birthday, everything looks and feels well made. I am now in my sixties and the step through design makes it easy for me. Nice bike, great color!
