Expanding on Iron Horse?s popular Triumph flatbar model from 2006, the new Transit line combines the fast feel of Iron Horse?s Triumph road bikes with the versatility of a flat handlebar and wider tires. Perfect for commuters needing an alternative to $3.00 gas or fetching the Times and a latte on Sunday morning. *Reader Reviews* I purchased this bike over a month ago as a commuter bike, I am doing a 27 mile route to work and school on the days I bike commute. So far I am happy with the bike though the seat is a bit hard. I am a 5'3" woman and got the 52 inch frame, which is probably an inch too tall for me but the price was right! The bike is pretty fast, which is what I was looking for. On a downhill, it can easily go about 25 mph. The handlebars are not soft. Before this bike I was riding a mountain bike with slick tires, and so I was looking for this style of road bike rather than the bikes with the dropped handlebars. It is ok for riding in traffic since the posture is more upright than a road bike but lower than a mountain bike or hybrid. The bike has a carbon fork and aluminum frame so it is quite light. It is easy to pass most other bikers on the bike trail on this bike, except for those who are riding on true road bikes and racing bikes. I chose this bike over a racing bike because the tires are a bit wider which allows for more traction on rainy days. Also the other review was correct about the egg beater pedals being shipped with the bike. I just switched them out with another pair of regular pedals. I haven't had any problems with the brakes on the bike. One other modification was that the seat post was several inches too long for my height, so my boyfriend had to saw off several inches of the post with a hacksaw to lower it. Also the handlebars are not adjustable like some other bikes of this style. Still, it is a great bike for the price, I shopped around and went to several bike shops and I feel that I got the style of bike I wanted for several hundred dollars less.
