Muddyfox Mf Omnium 700C Sports Leisure Synthetic Material Road Bikes Black

Positive:- 110£ for a road bike, it is cheap.- Most of it is already mounted...Negative:- But not really well: the brakes were not mounted properly on the handlebar to be able to cruise safely (see photo).- Axis back wheel broke after 2 months of 10 min daily commute- Front wheel woobly after 3 months- The seat clamp broke after I tried to change the height of the seat- 5+ flat tires in 3 monthsResult : I just stopped using it.This is not a good deal. You get what you pay for.

This same bike seems to be sold as a unisex and woman's bike but basically the top tube dips slightly towards the seat tube to allow easier mounting but is pretty much unisex. For a entry level bike one good feature is it does have basic quality dual pivot brakes rather than weaker single caliper brakes. Components as you can imagine are entry level and the bike uses a steel frame that is standard grade high tensile steel with no butting, it's not particularly heavy though overall. It uses a basic tourney A070 drivetrain with rocker shifters on the handlebars and a freewheel not a cassette/freehub.As ever with a cheaper bike you will need to do a lot more maintenance, bearings will need regular greasing and the drivetrain will need more frequent adjusting to keep the bike shifting. The lighter duty derailleurs will need to be kept clean. The seals are not amazing so its not an all weather bike for sure.Also bear in mind you aren't buying it from a bike shop who will do final adjustments on the bike it is up to you to do the final assembly and adjustment on the bike before its first ride.However with all that in mind its a competent bike that is better than some at this price point but overall is just about what you would expect.The one upgrade I would make is replace the rear wheel with a freehub based rear wheel and fit a 7 speed cassette. This will make the bike much stronger, it will shift better, it will be faster assuming you fit something like a 11-32 cassette to replace the 14-28 freewheel and generally makes the bike perform much better. Tyre clearance is good on the bike so you could fit some pretty big tyres. It could almost become a bit of a ultra-cheap gravel bike with some big tyres 700x35 possibly, maybe more. The bottom bracket could be upgraded to a better sealed bearing unit.Sadly one of the main reasons to buy such a cheap bike is the risk of theft, a low end bike not only is less of a loss if stolen but is less likely to be stolen in the first place.As you can imagine it comes with basic tyres, it would have been weird if it came with Continentals thats for sure. It's just generic low end tyres that provide passable service.I feel the bike is quite attractive the colour scheme is quite classy in its way with gold writing.As with most cheap bikes you may save money on the initial purchase but you will be replacing components sooner rather than later and it will soak up more of your time which of course means it can be a false economy.

The worst bike I have ever own. Crank arm snapped on the third ride, brakes fit far too low to be used safely. An absolutely pony bit of kit.
