With no suspension I thought the seat with suspension post would help make things more comfortable. I had a cancer scare a few years ago so I am carefuller than thou.(technical terms) The Verve + 2 I got is a step through, which I am sure I said before. The Verve + 2 now only has 10 miles showing. On the first trip to work at 0400 a 1/2 mile from the house the chain came off the front sprocket as I was going downhill but prepping for a stop ahead. It was dark, has two chain guards and I couldn't see if it was balled up at the top or bottom. I thought I figured it out and started the chain back over the top of the ring and it wouldn't go over. So I walked it back to the house and drove the truck. That was last Tuesday, and Wednesday I went back to Biscari's Bicycle shop with it. He put on a new chain as the original was a bit crooked. I might just have been a bit wound up at the situation at 0400 and the new ride quit me. Dave was a gentleman about it as he always has been. A good Bike shop is most important when you buy a bike. Woblety Mart only wants your dollars. No aftercare. They will give you another one just like the last one if you complain. And their bikes have never held up to 52 weeks a year of commuting. RANT OVER. Be Well, Bluesfrog.
