I've been looking for a cruiser with 5-7 speeds and fenders and a chain guard, and this bike fit the bill. So far, it's been a great bike. One time third gear slipped while riding, so I'm keeping an eye on that. It's pretty and stylish. The Pacific shorewood women's 26 inch cruiser came packed in a double box with no packing materials around it, and it turns out the front wheel was slightly bent - we only found out when adjusting the brakes. I called the company and they shipped me a replacement wheel (no tire) immediately, with no problems. I do not know how to put a bike together, so I asked a friend to do it for me and it took him about 2 hours. He worked for another hour putting on the accoutrement I like: lock, back rack with two folding baskets, front basket, lights and a bell. We had to go to the hardware store to get the right sized bolt to attach the back rack to the frame (down in the middle of the wheel) and get a couple of washers. I'm only 5'2" and usually the seat needs to be all the down, but on this bike it needs to be up higher. Overall, I like this bike quite a bit.
