Road Bike GMC Denali
GMC Road bike should cost much more than it really did. Friend of mine couldn't believe when I told him the price. The gears are great .On down hill I hit 35 mph and reached 30 mph on level ground. The quality of this bike is just great and looks very solid.I have zero problems with shape quality. The welds appear safe, the bicycle looks safe, the seat tube fit very well. I was surprised how good the frame matches my 6'0" size.
My first feeling was that I got it problematic to have to reach down to use the brake system. I had used to that fast. My second impression was how elementary it was to go quick on this bike. The 63cm, black and silver Denali, rides actually quiet. I will tell that this bike is truly amazing for the price. I am indeed impressed with the quality for less than two hundred dollars.
I was very impressed when I saw in a bike shop used one for the price three times higher Than GMC road bike looking almost the same.The seller tried to convince me to get the used one but I decided to get new one GMC .It has nice design ,alominum frame,shimano derailleur and it behaves very well on the road.
The seat is comfortable for a road bike, and the Denali pedals easily, making long rides a breeze. The kickstand is a welcomed addition (and removable for those who balk at kickstands). If you want a true bargain, have some tools/experience and are willing to tinker, get the Denali. It's a hoot to ride! The gear shifting appears to be fine overall to me, and conveniently placed on the handle bars. Because the bike is solid aluminum, it is fairly light and very durable.
A matter for buyer consideration is that it is a bit heavier but stronger than popular (bianchi, trek, giant) commuter road bicycles since those tend to get a thinner aluminum shape while this one looks to pursue Ford Motor Company's "built tough" motto. (Lighter frame materials would be titanium, carbon, and some sort of composite: carbon and titanium frame bikes will cost you up $1500 new, at least)
Another aspect people will easily miss is that the forks, unlike the frame, is made of steel so they're heavier than normal--but this is because while aluminum is lighter than steel, it is also stiffer which would make for a bone-jarring ride; the only real solution to this is to get 200-300$ all carbon.
All in all I am very pleased with the bicycle GMC Denali. You simply can't get better price. The bike is light, has really stable gearing, and runs very fast. It moves better than it breaks. Replacements several key parts will make the bicycle fabulous. It is not ideal bike, but when you factor in the price, it is a super deal.
