Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the Sportiva ("Sport" Select Series) recently and have put about 120 miles on it so far. If there was something wrong or cheap about it I probably would have discovered it by now. I decided on a large frame size (I'm 6') and it is just right. The only assembly required was put the front wheel on, saddle on, reflectors, handle bar, a few other little things, and I had to connect one cable to the gear shifter. The bike didn't come with a kick-stand so I bought one at Wal-Mart. So far the Sportiva has been a very smooth rider (considering your riding on a smooth road) and easy to control and maneuver. People generally think of a road bike as being light, fast, sleek, and uncomfortable. The Sportiva is all but uncomortable. The handle bar is easy to reach and there is absolutley no back or rear end pain on long rides (even though the seat is narrow). The top bar of the frame is closer to the stem than I had ever seen before, this keeps you in a comfortable, semi-leaned over position. That keeps you comfortable but also in a "ready" position, something that cruiser bikes don't give you. The handle grips are ergonomic shaped (not like standard grips) and fit your hand naturally. The Shimano shifters for the 3 gears and 8 speeds are very nice. Each shifter has a lever and a trigger for lower and higher shifting (no twist shifters). I think these with last a long time. The color of the bike looks like black and gray and in other lights looks more brown and gray, it's simple but nice-classy if you will. I was happy to find most of the bike painted (spokes, handle bar, seat post) so it shouldn't rust easy. Lastly the Sportiva is a typical road bike (thin tires) but a very timeless one. I think this bike will age quite nicely and be a good looking classic one day. Very nice, very sporty, very fast, and very good price. Can't go wrong!
