Love it Jul 24, 2010
The price is great for a road bike. I want to try a road bike first to see if I like this sport before I buy a good one. The good one will cost easily $1000.00 and above.
If you are under 5'7'', it's too high.
It looks great and durable. The only thing I feel inconvenient is font derailer. Even it's tuned. It's still not smooth.
Good bike for the $$$$ Jul 19, 2010
I decided to purchase this bike after doing a lot of investigation. I would have loved to have purchased a $ 1,000 bike, but that was way out of my budget. I am a novice cyclist and wanted to get into riding. I read the reviews on this bike and knew what I was getting for the price. I really like this bike. The bike is a little heavy, but it shifts well and handles very good. I haven't had any problems with the tires and have had only small problems with the brakes. With a little tweaking, this bike handles very well. I would recommend this as an entry level bike for someone who is just starting out cycling.
 denali road bike Jul 18, 2010
Very good bike at a relatively inexpensive price. After a few minor adjustments,I have been completely satisfied with this bike. I ride it 2-5 times a week, 6-8 miles a ride. The bike is smooth and comfortable. I would recommend this bike to my friends looking for a starter road bike.

Good (not excellent) budget road bike Jul 11, 2010
I purchased this bike because I am trying to save money by biking onto campus from my apartment instead of driving (I am in grad school). I'm very comfortable with mountain bikes, so I figured that it would be best for me to get used to road bikes with a cheap, entry-level road bike like this one, and so far it's working out just okay.
My advice is, if you're trying to save money and already experienced with bikes, get this one if it is still well under $200. Having ridden this bike for 2 months, I am finding myself looking forward to being able to upgrade the brakes and wheels (I can't afford to right now).
The brakes on this bike are kind of cheap, and the wheels aren't quick-release. If you're going to park it in a place with lots of bike theft, you need to be able to lock both wheels to something with a U-lock, and that's usually easiest if you can remove the front wheel quickly and lock it with the back to something.
Bottom-line: I think if I could've found another road bike with shift levers next to the brake levers, quick-release wheels AND for under $300, I would've gotten it instead.
Fit
I am 5'9" with a 31" inseam. Standing over this bike with some normal running shoes I actually only have about an inch of clearance, so this bike is a little big for me. Otherwise I think the dimensions of the bike might be very good for someone 1 or 2 inches taller than me. If you're much taller, I can see how this bike might be a little short length-wise, like another reviewer suggested.
Looks
From a distance it is a very attractive bike. Actually, the first thing I did after taking it out of the box was remove the kickstand and the stickers. It looks very slick without them. But anyone who is experienced with bikes will notice the thick, clunky aluminum frame and the plastic pantsguard.
Riding
Out of the box I only had to adjust the front brakes and the shifters, which I was pretty pleased about. Fiddling with the brakes really gave me the sense that they were very cheap quality. But they do the job.
I also had to get used to frequently moving my hands from the brakes near the front of the handlebars to the shifters at the back; I have to be a little quick with my hands sometimes. The Denali Pro has shift levers placed near the brake levers, which I think would have been perfect for this bike, too. I'm also not a fan at all of rotary shifters, but I've gotten used to these.
Fortunately, my campus is very flat. If I were biking somewhere with a few hills I would not recommend getting this bike. I would recommend getting a lighter bike with the shift levers near the brake levers.
It's not a professonal bike Jul 03, 2010
This is a good bike but it comes with cheap parts that hinders its potential. Overall the bike is good. if you can replace parts such as the shift gear then you can make this bike run smooth and faster. otherwise its a bit slow compared to other road bikes.
