<span itemprop="name">Do not waste your money</span>
<span itemprop="description">Although a cheap bike, you will wish you hadn't wasted your money! Bought this 11 months ago and have spent so much money on repairs in that time . If you have an active teenager, like me, do not touch this bike.It's cheap and not robust enough for the sort of treatment a teenager will give it . Avoid at all costs . Now having to buy another, more sturdy bike after being told that latest repairs would cost £70-115 and he only rides it to school and back! Not going to bother any more with this bike and has seriously put me off buying another Halfords bike ever again. Must say that staff were very friendly and helpful, just had enough of this bike.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Returned for refund within half an hour...</span>
<span itemprop="description">Bought this to hopefully tide me over for a few months whilst improving fitness. Collected the bike and had to return to the shop with it as the back wheel had gone within quarter of a mile...</span>

<span itemprop="name">3 weeks of waiting, lasted 5 minutes</span>
<span itemprop="description">I paid for this over 3 weeks ago, this is my first ever bike. It took halfords 3 weeks to get the bike and build it. I took my first bike out for a test ride. I left the bike carrying me and returned 5 minutes later me carrying the bike. The front derailleur broke, twisted and collapsed with the bike chained jammed inside of it, the bike wouldn't even be pushed let alone ride it. How ridiculously disappointing. It is a shame there isn't an option to give 0 stars, 1 feels overrated.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Do not expect it to last - but cheaper than a bus</span>
<span itemprop="description">Had now for 8 months gears have needed adjustment twice and still reliably only getting 12 gears out of 18. For a road bike i think it would benefit with higher gearing. Covered only around 360 miles until lockdown then not used.
Fitted mudguards and pannier no problem.
Been caught in the rain a couple of times and bike has corroded even on areas that had been greased.
Pedals required replacing after 300 miles and one side just stopped turning.
Bus costs £3.60 a day commute and still requires a 10 minute walk from bus stop to work. Estimate at least 100 commutes done on the bike to date
Took it back to halfords for a free check and they said chainset needed a clean and that rear brakes had worn and needed replacement. Cleaned myself with muckoff and toothbrush and re-greased. Brakes were just adjusted with the cable as plenty of meat left.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Terrible bike, buy used at this price. Don't buy!</span>
<span itemprop="description">Riding home with it should have been warning to me that the bike was terrible, the chain decided to pop off with a front downshift 3 miles from the store. Same thing a day later.
After 200km the pedals needed to be replaced, the stock pedals on the bike are awful resin pedals. Bearings were done and casing snapped whilst climbing, talk about timing.
Even the stock tires are terrible, I quickly switched them to a pair of Continental Touring Plus tires, combined cost about a third of this bike.
About 1500km everything decides to break. Front hub runs rough, rear axle is bent and bearings gone, the rear rim is causing punctures, the BB is dead, the rear doesn't shift into 6th, the reflectors have snapped off ages ago, the grips split.
The paint on the handlebars and stems also fades quickly.
Of course you can't expect too much for 130 but even then a bike that simply falls apart after a while is unacceptable.</span>
