Advantages: great customer service, great quality Disadvantages: Matching accessories not available
On Tuesday 27 March, my son turned three making him officially a "big boy" as he reminds us on at least an hourly basis. His dad and I thought it only appropriate to celebrate this graduation into "big-boyhood" by buying him his first "big boy" bike.
Kyle is an extremely active and strong boy and the level of destruction he can cause is extraordinary to say the least so it was vital that we found a bike that could withstand the endurance test that is hurricane Kyle and unfortunately, it was doubtful that the Spiderman bike from Argos he had his eye on was going to do the trick.
With this in mind I started to do some research online into different options. One brand in particular kept popping up in reviews and newspaper/magazine articles. That brand was Isla Bikes. Now, I am not particularly knowledgeable when it comes to ...

Advantages: great looking, light weight and comfortable Disadvantages: uncomfortable for some
The Flite titanium saddle and its previous incarnations have been my choice of saddle for around the last eight years on some of my mountain bikes.
There is one obvious disadvantage to this saddle and that is that the shape might not be to everyone?s liking, its pretty small and does take some getting used to. On the other hand, there are many advantages to this saddle, one of which is the fact that now I?m used to it I find it perfectly comfortable. Main advantages have to include the fact that it is so light weight at just about 200g, the fact that it is really long lasting even when used in the foulest of conditions and also the fact that it looks so sleek and would look fantastic on any bike.
I?d would definetely highly recommend this saddle to anyone... ...
Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Does not inspire confidence re: safety

Then the real problem: after just a year the back brake block sheared off while undergoing resetting. After buying new brake blocks and attempting to fit them the end of the brake cable just fell off, leaving the cable liable to fraying. No extraordinary pressure was put on these parts to cause these failures, it was just bare hands, a spanner and an Allen key.
My experience leaves me with the opinion that the parts on this bike are shoddy and could actually be dangerous. ...
