I am an enthusiastic proponent of buying a bike only after a long and satisfactory test ride.
If you know going in that you'll be wanting to upgrade components (as I am doing now), the bike is heavier than others, and that you'll be the one putting it together..... then the ActionBent is not a
bad bike. And I knew all that when I ordered mine. But, then that should be a consideration for any 'bent unless you got all those buck to pony up and get the very, very best.
