sixthreezero Around The Block Men's Beach Cruiser Bike, Hybrid Bicycle with R...

My wife and I purchased two sixthreezero bikes after years wanting a couple fun cruisers to use. We chose this "Around the Block Men's Cruiser Bike with Rear Rack" for me and I couldn't be happier! I was hesitant to purchase a bike online, for fear of what it would look like after transport or to assemble, but was happy to find it in great shape, packed safely and with good instructions upon arrival. While we were able to assemble it properly, we had our local bike shop do a full review post-assembly to make sure everything was ride-ready. As a life-long mountain biker, the seating position took me a few minutes to get used to. However, I can say that the riding position is great now that I'm familiar with it. (No back aches, tight shoulders or tired forearms as you'd experience frequently on a mountain bike.) This is a delightful bike to enjoy with my wife on our bike rides, whether short or long. Very comfortable, eye-catching and fun!

Right out of box left hand brake was broken. Customer service was helpful and said they could ship a new brake and pay to have it installed. Sounded easy. Assembled bike and rode about a mile and gears started making noise. Something snapped and chain and small rear sprocket wrapped completely around rear spokes. Had to carry bike home. Sent pics to company and hot email they would gladly send any parts to fix. Ordered this bike for use for 3 months in fla. just don’t have time to run around looking for repair shops etc. to rebuild a bike. Sad because I researched this company and liked the look of this bike. Quality control lacking at least on this shipment.

I feel the sixthreezero Around The Block Men's 7-Speed meets all my expectations. After being at home working for over a year, not wanting to return too quickly to the gym, and instead choosing to walk the neighborhood for exercise, I was done! My wife suggested I purchase a bike. I have had all sorts of bikes over the years - racers, mountain bikes, low cost/low quality bikes from box-stores, and expensive high maintenance bikes from specialty bike stores. I just needed a good quality reliable bike where I wouldn't be hunched over the handle bars, that would be easy to ride, had enough gears to provide a reasonable workout, and could be versatile. The sixthreezero Around The Block Men's 7-Speed has actually made me feel liberated. I'm riding it regularly around the neighborhood, and on weekends along local bikeways. I even took it for a spin on the beach on the hard sand. 4 stars for easy to assemble - the guide is for a bike that doesn't come semi-preassembled, which mine did. I started with the guide to be "safe", but quickly resorted to common sense assembly. Three stars for comfort - the seat was not easy on my derriere, until a placed a removable cushioned seat cover over it - a cheap and easy fix. 5 stars for packaging. Amazon needs to take a page out of sixthreezero's packaging handbook.

[UPDATE - 10/2019] - This company stands by its product. I reached out to them with all the problems and got a very helpful customer service person who told me to go to a local bike shop and get it in working order. I did but then gasped that the bill came to almost 75% of what I paid for the bike to begin with. sixthreezero didn't blink....they sent me a check for the full amount. No idea why my bike had all these issues, but now it's a dream. Great looking, comfortable, perfectly true wheels, quiet brakes and shifts like a monster. Very satisfied. Only 4 stars because of all the hassles but I look forward to many years with this bike. INITIAL REVIEW: I can't tell you how many reviews I went through before purchasing this sixthreezero "Around the Block" cruiser. The bike is beautiful to look at and easily the most comfortable bike I've been on. The problem is.... the quality. Now maybe I'm just the unluckiest guy going......but when the box arrived and I assembled the bike (which was easy and straightforward) I couldn't understand why I couldn't get the front tire to stop hitting the brake pads and the chain to stop clicking on the derailer. I called the company and a nice guy took down all my information, apologized and shipped me out a new derailer and front tire free of charge. It arrived a week later and this time I took it in to a bike shop for assembly only to be told that, while the "new" tire was better, it still wasn't totally true and was made in such a way that it would probably never be totally true. They also showed me (see the video) how the rear wheel hub assembly was so poorly made that it wobbled up and down when the tire moved. The guy charged me nothing but said, "this is a really poor quality bike". I really wanted to love this bike because the look and feel of it are so nice...... but the clicking chain and the wobbly rear axle are too much. I had to call Amazon and get my refund. Like an idiot I threw away the original box!

In my sixties now and I also have some physical issues my neck and lower back being the biggest. I needed a good quality bicycle I could sit up on and have the gearing I need to get around. Had purchased Schwinn Suburban and sent it right back. Awful. Horrible quality. Poorest built bike ever. Better things now. Around the Block 7 speed is the bike I replaced it with and it's well worth it. Showed up with all parts in good shape which made assembly easy. I have to dial it all in yet, but it's January and I won't get to ride just yet. Give an update later on the dial in of gears and brakes. Sitting on the bike is a great fit, seat is super, handle grips are excellent. Well thought out with what I can see quality to match. Excellent Sixthreezero.

Excelente bicicleta, buen material y estética muy bonita. No es difícil de armar y es fácil de conducir. Llegó muy bien empaquetada, lo que genera mucha seguridad en su contenido.

Warning Sixthreezero will not honor warranty bought on Amazon Canada. Bike looked great. Difficulty adjusting brakes properly. First ride and the derailleur failed, breaking spokes and rendering it inoperable. Contacted sixthreezero and was told their bike bought on Amazon Canada they would not honor their warranty. Horrible customer service. Amazon was great and refunded. Be very cautious purchasing a sixthreezero bike. Do not recommend.
