I am an avid reader and decided after several months of research to purchase the kindle 2. You have to know that at first this was a difficult decision for me because I was never one to buy books. I only went to the local library, I mean why buy a book when you can just get it for free? Anyway, my kindle 2 came via mail 2 weeks ago and I have already read 6 books! I absolutely love, love love it!! The books you can purchase through the kindle store are very reasonably priced and I love the fact that they download in less than a minute. No more waiting lists at the library! Plus, it is very easy to operate. So for anyone who is questioning getting a kindle 2, DO IT!! You will not be sorry.

I listened to the Opal Deception on a Coast-to-Coast drive with my daughter. We laughed across Arizona and I was hooked on Artemis Fowl. If you are an adult who likes Harry Potter there is a good chance you will like Artemis too. There is a natural tendency to compare them and to my taste Artemis is lighter and funnier. The prose is first-rate, the plots move right along and the characters are just a delight.

I bought this book for a book group and we were supposed to read a few chapters a week. I finished it in 2 days. It has been great for group discussions.

Amazon is selling the bag only. the mount is not included. My Nuvi windshield mount does not fit the bean bag. Garmin sells this bag complete with all the mounts for $39.99. They will not sell the mount alone and again it is different from the windshield mount. Amazon is refunding but this is a hassel.

“Hey, nice bike!”. I bought this bike for my lady for a 1 year anniversary gift; as an entry level road bike. I’m an avid cyclist/urban commuter, but being that she only rode a MTB at the time, I didn’t want to commit to any road specific bike over $500 since she may not like the skinny tires and crouched stance. I stumbled upon the Schwinn Prelude, liked the price, and went for it.
She rode Schwinn Prelude Mens Road Bike for about 3 months before we replaced it with a Schwinn Super Sport. The reason for replacing it was because of the geometry and sizing, which would be my only beef with this bike, along with no rack mounts as said before. My lady is about 5′9″, but has long’ish arms and legs – and in this case, a properly fitted bike would be the correct way to go as opposed to trying to fit on a “one-size-fits-all”. Even after replacing the bars with MTB/hybrid flat bars, it still caused her pain in her neck and wrists.
She’s very happy with her current bike and instead of selling this bike, I took it (which fits me just fine) and converted it to a second urban/commuter bike, adding fenders, platform pedals and a singlespeed conversion (there is no conversion kit for the type of freewheel cassette that comes on the bike, so I had to use a little ingenuity to make it work). I kept the flat MTB bars and it works just great for me – in the asphalt jungle, sometimes bunnyhopping a curb is necessary! The freewheel is a nice break from my fixed gear bike that I mostly use.
I would definetely recommend this bike to anyone in the upper 5′ to lower 6′ height range: the parts are of very good quality and the frame is solid and light. However, I would also advise that any buyer should SIT on the bike and make sure it fits properly. Even after making bar and seat height adjustments, the frame just may not be right for you.
It is what Pacific Grays Peak Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike is….. A cheap bike. Let me just say I have taken this bike out on 15 rides the first was a fairly light bike trail and it did ok. The 10+ rides after the first, consisted of street riding and bike trail riding. It handled fair for that. Took it out to the local nature preserve and by the time I was through I wanted to through it into the gulley. This bike is not made to handle offroad. It’s definiteley not designed with street in mind either. So that brings me to the conclussion that this is a complete waste of time and money.
I did not buy this bike, I earned it through a program for selling insurance and bought it with my earned miles. I am no pro but I do know how to work on a bike. There is no reason to buy this bike. The suspension bottoms out on 70%-90% of the terrain you will find, even on fire roads. The brakes are no good. I adjusted them as I would any other bike and they worked for about 5 minutes before going back to exactly how they were before I adjusted. It was at the worst time too. Going down a steep hill hit the brakes full and took about 10-20 seconds before I slowed down to a speed where I could put my foot down. Next is the pedal, I have logged over 5,000 miles on previous bikes owned and the pedal broke off within 20 miles on this bike.
Being that this bike is equipped with a dual suspension you would think you can take it into some tough terrain. That is not the case. The only place I would ride this is on the street but then again that is not recommended because the brakes are very sketchy. It looks good but clearly this bike blows. I’m going to sell mine on craigslist for $20! Poor guy that buys it is going to save $80 just to pay hundreds in health insurance cost.
TO THE GUY THAT SAYS A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND ITS GOOD: NO NO NO! You either work for Grays Peak or you have yet to take this on a hill. It falls apart, it breaks, it looks good, and the brakes do not work.
Nice frame, but beware of some cheap components. Beautiful bike, has all the right features for a city commuter bike.
The bad:
The free wheel (or AKA “cassette”) arrived defective. This is the part that your chain wraps around and has several gears (7 in this case), next to the rear wheel. Some of the gears on the free wheel were bent, cause the gear to slip. Very cheap made in China crap. The good news is that for $20 a bike shop can replace Schwinn Midmoor Mens Hybrid Bike for a nice Shimano free wheel. Then 1 pedal bent within 30 days (it looks like metal but interior has plastic).
The good:
Had the pedal and free wheel not being so crappy, I give this bike a sure 4 stars after a little money pured in for a free wheel and a pedal. Frame feels very solid and strong, yet lightweight aluminum. After a professional tune-up (and the 2 components above replaced), the bike is handling great.
The shifter is a good Shimano shifter (but not their best of course, this is a $240 bike). The gear changer is a basic Shimano touring, but still a Shimano.
Very easy to assemble. It is mostly assembled. This is the first bike I ever assembled right out of the box. It took me less than 2 hours, going very carefully. As long as you have a basic set of allen key, 1 regular adjustable wrench (for the pedals), and ONLY IF replacing the seat, a ratcheting wrench will be very helpful.
You WILL NEED to have the brakes and gears adjusted, and the wheel trued. If you can’t do it, it is worth spending the $50 for a professional shop to do it. The difference afterwards is like night and day.
Conclusion:
This bike should be advertised as great bike that needs some additional parts purchased (to replace the 2 cheap components that will break easily)!
I added a nice comfortable seat, rear and front lights, splash guards (I know they aren’t pretty, but necessary on a commuter bike, and actually looked pretty good with it). I might even add a rear rack, since this is now my official commuter bike. Once I poured some money in on repair mentioned above, accessories and a tune-up, I love this bike.
Beware of hidden costs!. The bike itself is great. The problem is that Pacific attempts to pre-assemble most of Pacific Tuscon Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike and in doing so damaged the rear tire and didn’t do the installation correctly causing a serious safety hazard. It cost me $85 to have the bike re-assembled properly and to have the tire replaced. I called Pacific and they basically snubbed me saying they weren’t going to reimburse for any labor costs, which was most of it. I was furious. If I had known about the added cost up front I never would have mail ordered a bicycle and would have simply gone shopping locally. Buyer beware!
