ROYCE UNION RMY

I had been looking for a bike for my partner. Yep, budget minded and not looking at the bigger picture. Saw this and knew I was making a positive choice.Easy assembly, very versatile- it fits her and is easy to ride. A solid bike, not overly complex. I'm not concerned about tech details, just the bottom line- Use and enjoyment.We ride regularly on weekends. Use is rewarding. Getting out and doing things together is the enjoyment.The price is very attractive, well worth the investment.

Let me start off by telling you I am a 40 year old man who only really bikes now and then. Maybe for exercise, maybe just to be outside, I am not a bicycle hobbyist, enthusiast, and expert. I'm sub amateur. Haha just a regular joe when it comes to bikes.Now that you know where I am coming from....The reviews that say they had stuff broken, missing etc. That sucks. It really does. I am so glad I didn't based my decision to buy on that, because I was planning on exchanging until they got it right. Anyway I did have all my pieces and nothing damaged. So it IS possible to have a great first experience.Now to the bike itself...I hate the seat. It sucks. It was difficult for me to figure out how to attach the seat to the stem. I did figure it out. But the directions didn't show my specific style. Which was odd, anyway, I had to look at my old bike for help so thankfully I had a guide.It didn't come with a kickstand, again thankfully I have an old bike, I just took it off and added it to the new.This bike in the metallic red is BEAUTIFUL!!!It rides well, I enjoyed it very much.Overall, it was not too difficult for me to put together. I did it while with my 1 year old so we had to take a break. But it didn't take me for than a few hours in total.It has been a solid experience. I'm glad I decided to buy, GREAT price for the product. I'm happy 😁Oh and yes the 4 stars is cause I hate the seat.

This is probably the best bike in the world at this price range. It is a beautiful bike. I could not find one flaw anywhere. If you think you're mechanically inclined (I work on my own vehicles), trust me—if you haven't set up a modern bike before, save yourself the time and take it to a pro to set it up for you, because the instructions aren't the best, which is the only con I can mention.This was a birthday present for my 14 year old son, and after consideration, I took the bike to the local bike pro.He was blown away by the quality of it, too, and wow...what a smooth and comfortable ride it is.The Royce Union 700c is proof that some companies still make quality products at a reasonable price.The negative reviews about this bike are either from a few who were either unlucky , or they're reviews from a competitor. If you're considering this bike, you will NOT regret purchasing it.

Missing instructions ALL parts needed for assembly. Actually missing the Parts Box, which the manufacturer actually told me was not available. Even the the bike appears to be good quality, I had to return it since I had no assembly parts.

The instructions are worthless. They appear to be for another bike. It's not super complex, but you will have to figure out how to assemble this on your own. The tools it comes with are crap. I broke the wrench on a bolt.The tires it comes with are worthless. I went through three tubes in under a month before the tire developed a 3 centimeter or so gash from hitting a small and blunt rock at low speed. These will need to be replaced and I have replaced them on mine. I haven't had problems with flats since. The front derailleur is by far hardest to adjust that I have ever messed with. The chain quickly broke. I have since replaced it with a better quality one.The rims were very untrue. You will need a rim spoke wrench and flathead screwdriver to fix it. Those aren't included. You will also need a bike pump, which isn't included. You will need tire levers to easily replace the tire/tube.The bike is rather heavy for somehting that is meant to be aluminum.Overall, I would save a bit of money and get something better. If you need a bike, this works as a bike. You had just better learn bike assembly and repair.

I like the bike, the price was great for an aluminum 19" bike, I liked almost everything about it, it was easy to assemble, and rides well, I didn't like the fact that its missing a kickstand.

This is a very good bike, especially at this price. Quality appears to be good. As with any mail order bike it needs some "Tweaking" of the brake and derailleur adjustments, but the manual shows what these should be. Once tuned the shifting is smooth and quiet. It is missing a few features, such as quick release wheels, but this is only and issue if you have to remove the wheels several times a day. Otherwise you can remove a wheel in about one minute with a 15 mm wrench. This bike has a very low step-over for a full size bike, which was my primary reason for the purchase, as I am an older male, but the frame feels solid and stable. It helps in the setup if you have some mechanical ability, or have a friend who does.

I finally recieved my bike and was excited to put my bike together. Upon Assembly I found the bike has some scratches on the parts of the bike though padding was all around. The scratches are in the bike metal. The bike itself is missing pedals and a handle bar attachment to hold the handle bars in place. So it looks great and is light weight easy to carry but cannot ride it now.
