Hey-
I have known that Smith and Wesson made police bikes for a while, but I never knew that they also made consumer models. From looking at the bikes, however, they look as though they might be more for the recreational rider. While the available parts mix looks O.K. for derrailleurs, etc. on the custom bikes, I cannot speak for the frame, or other cost-cutting features that might not be so apparent. While this might be a fine bike, I would go with a better-known brand unless you could ride it first. You might have a problem finding a place that carries them(I have never seen a shop with them). Either way you decide, I would definitely ride it and inspect it first.
