- HILAND 700C Road Bike, 14 Speeds Sport Bike, Light Weight Aluminum Frame, Racing Bike for Men Women Adult Bicycle

I'm 65 and have been riding this bike for 3 years now. I have two of them in case one of my friends comes into town to ride with me. I used to have trouble walking up the stairs, but now I'm running up the stairs. This is the best bike I've purchased. It's definitely lightweight and easy to pedal, even uphill!

I just started cycling. First it had a clicking sound with the chain or something. Just change to low gear and it works fine.

I've had this bike for about a year and a half or about 2000 miles, it has far exceeded my expectations. At its price point I guess I expected it to be an uncomfortable mess that falls apart after a few weeks. It's been a solid performer and makes for both a reliable daily driver as well as a solid piece of equipment for both long rides or short sprint workouts. Most of the other reviews mention the same missing screw over and over. I do remember that mine had fallen off in shipping, but I found them in the box under one of the flaps. I wonder how many people who's were missing got thrown out with the box. It took me a little while to get everything adjusted and tightened down, but once I did I never had a problem again. The shifting and drivetrain are dependable, once I got the derailleurs dialed in I never have to worry about the chain slipping or falling off the chainring. I did have to order a stem riser, the handlebars are very low, which was a problem for me when I got it because I wasn't used to being in that riding position, I didn't have a lot of experience on a road bike. Because of its price point I suspect a lot of riders who choose this bike will have the same problem. The customer service so far has been pretty great. About a year into ownership I reached out to the amazon seller about the specs on replacement parts, and they've happily answered quickly every time I do. Its definitely not the lightest or most aero bike on the market, but it doesn't exactly make me yearn for something lighter or sleeker. Mine weighs 28lbs currently, it's easy enough to carry up and down stairs, and I don't feel like its weight is hurting me on climbs. I've been training quite a bit on this bike this summer and I've made massive gains in personal performance, honestly I get a special kind of joy riding this bike blowing past riders on one to two thousand dollar bikes on my local bike trails. Overall I've been very happy with this bike, and would probably recommend it to friends who were looking to get into cycling

I selected this bike based on all the great reviews, as I wanted a good commuter bike. Not two months later I am coming down a hill at night at a high rate of speed, and the left crank came loose and almost fell off. I took it to a bike shop to discover the square of the crank was stripped at the factory and looked more like a circle. It's frustrating to have problems with a two month old bike with a part that was pre-assembled, and this could have potentially caused a serious injury. I reached out to Hiland customer support and provided my amazon order screenshot with address and purchase date and asked them to send me a new crank. They responded with "Why don't you buy one on amazon and we will refund you the cost?" and provided a link to a generic (non factory matching) crank. I responded with "Why don't you send me one so I am not incurring additional expense and waiting for a refund?" They said, "Sure, this will take two weeks." I didn't wish to wait two weeks, so I bought the 170mm square hole replacement crank. Only when it arrived, it is a bit longer than 170mm, so now I will have to buy an entirely new crank set to ensure the length actually matches. Hiland should have done the right thing and sent a matching factory crank as this was obviously a defective unit on delivery. Further, the gear shifts, even when fully flush with the tightening screw, STILL rotate around the handlebar when you try to change gears - which is also dangerous and in need of modification. The white handlebar wrap - which gets dirty easy and looks bad on a black bike - is already coming undone and looking like a ragged mummy, so this will also need replacing. All said, I will have spent an additional 100+ to get this new bike functional. A highly frustrating experience with Hiland and, hindsight being 20/20, I would have selected a different bike.

Not bad for the price, and for being a random bike off of Amazon. Had to build the bike which isn't hard, but if you're not familiar with what you are doing, you should take it into a bike shop and have someone put it together for you and to tighten everything. True to sizing. Not as lightweight as other road bikes I've had but it's not heavy by any means. The handles are a little odd but handles are easy to replace.

Bought this bike looking for a nice, value road bike. It’s moderately priced so I was hopeful to get decent quality. I read some of the reviews but took a chance that I would get a good bike. I just received it today. Here are some thoughts. Positives: * Looks really nice * Right sized for me * Fairly easy to assemble, especially with a video available on YouTube * Lightweight frame Negatives: * The bike was missing a screw for the front brake. This seems to be a recurring issue. Speaks to QC issues. I reached out to seller for a screw so I can finish the assembly and ride the bike. One screw! So far my first ride has to wait. Seller said they would send it out right away. Waiting to receive it. * No kickstand. I guess it’s been a while since I bought a bike. No kickstand? Really? * The paint on the lower frame, left side was scratched. Bummer because it is right over the Hiland logo. Pretty disappointed as the paint job is otherwise nice * Shimano shift levers are affixed to the handle bar with a thin metal bracket which is pinched closed with a screw. You can’t tighten the shift levers tight enough to keep them from spinning around the handle bar! This prevents you from being able to change gears, which is a critical part of the bike’s operation. Not acceptable. Does anyone know how to fix this? If I can’t resolve I may just return the bike. Bottom line….nice bike on paper. Four negative issues that give me pause for the price I paid. If I can fix the front brake and the shift levers, this could work out. We shall see. Will provide update soon.

This bike looks good. Attached a picture for you to see. However, it took me hours and hours to watch youtube videos and adjust the bike to make it work. 1. front fork is installed reversed. 2. front disk brake does not brake. rear disk brake keeps rubbing. The second problem took me hours to finally get to a riding condition. I would say the assembly from the factory did a horrible job and if you are a beginner, going to your local bike shop is a better choice. After a week and 100 miles, I raised the review to three stars. Both disk brakes are tuned three times and I finally got it right. Ride is smooth. Bike is light. I am happy. Update after a month After around 200 miles, right shifter indicators broke. The shifter does the job but the indicator stuck a 1. After 6 months and 500+ miles. I love this bike! Solid and great fun in riding it.

Today it arrived in perfect condition with everything as expected, and after 40 minutes my wife and I we finish to assemble the bike, no major issues. I rode a little and it is really light and speedy, but I feel that I have to get used with it, and I eager to start riding, and then I see its quality, but so far so good.
