The GMC Denali 700C 21-Speed Road Bike is built around a lightweight aluminum road bike frame. You’ll stop on a dime with the alloy calipers and brake levers, and the high-profile alloy Vitesse racing rims look as good as they perform. The Shimano derailleur and Shimano Revo shifts make it easy to change gears quickly and smoothly, and the high-performance 700c tires are up to the challenge of rigorous street racing. Lastly, this road bike will help you stay hydrated with the included alloy water bottle cage. I finally bought this bike after several months of heming and hawing and pricing bikes at Performance Bicycle and other “brick and mortar” stores. I finally settled on this bike for one important reason: the price. It’s extremely affordable. The $200 price tag was PHENOMENALLY cheaper than even the most “entry level” Fuji or Schwinn in Performance’s stock, and those were usually single-geared messenger bikes that would not have survived the hilly Georgia terrain I intended to ride on. The price is great for someone looking to get into biking at a very basic level. I currently ride it in a small, very flat are of Fort Worth, Texas, and it’s absolutely perfect. The gears shift smoothly, the bike rides like a cloud, and the pedals are easily adapted to hold toe clips so you get more power when riding.
