Bottom Line:
I splurged a bit when I bought this bike - most of my saddle time is spent on daily commuting. So far I've taken it on one long trip (three days riding - including road sections) and some day rides. The main and real problem I encountered was the rear wheel going out of true. My dealer tried to help out - but apparently he's not a wheel expert. A spoke broke on three occasions. I recently found someone who set things straight - I hope it lasts. When the Haro is running right it's a real pleasure to ride.
