Cadillac Adventure Series AV-SL Men’s Deluxe Comfort Bike
Designed from the ground up as the ultimate men's comfort bike, the Cadillac AV-SL offers generous stand-over clearance, a riding position that's ideal for cruising around town, and a memory foam saddle/suspension seat post that's remarkably soft and snug. As a result, both cross-town bike rides and jaunts to the corner market are comfortable and fun. Yet the bike doesn't sacrifice performance for comfort thanks to such features as complete Shimano Nexave 21-speed push/tap shifters, a Shimano Nexave rear derailleur, a micro-shift alloy front derailleur, lightweight alloy rims with stainless-steel spokes and aluminum nipples, Tektro alloy linear pull brakes, and an aluminum half-moon handlebar. Best of all for style-conscious riders, the AV-SL's custom high-gloss diamond white paint job will turn heads wherever you go. p The men's bike, which weighs roughly 32.6 pounds (depending on the wheel size), is available in several sizes: 15 inches (for riders between 5' 1" and 5' 7"), 17 inches (for riders between 5' 5" and 5' 9"), 19 inches (for riders between 5' 7" and 5' 11"), 21 inches (for riders between 5' 10" and 6' 1"), and 23 inches (for riders between 5' 11" and 6' 4"). The AV-SL also carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and a one-year warranty on parts.pstrongSpecifications:/strongulliFrame: Custom 7005 Aluminum liFork: RST CT-Com-SL with Lockout 50mm Travel liChain: KMC Z 51 liCrank set: Shimano Nexave 48, 38, 28 liBB: Shimano UN-52 liFront Derailleur: Micro Shift Alloy liRear Derailleur: Shimano Nexave liShifters: Shimano Nexave Push Button Tap Shifter 21 speed Dual Index liBrake levers: Shimano Nexave Integrated liBrakes: Tektro Alloy Linear Pull Brakes liCassette: Shimano 13-34 liRims: Double Wall Alloy with Stainless Steel Spokes liTires: Kenda 841C 26 x 2.0 inches liStem: Adjustable Quill Alloy liHandlebar: Aluminum Half Moon liHeadset: 1-1/8-inch High Stack Semi-Integrated liSaddle: Cadillac Custom Embossed with Memory Foam liSeat post: Suspension 27.2 liPedals: VP Alloy with Rubber Top liWeight: 32.6 lbs /ulpTABLE ALIGN="left" BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1 WIDTH="80%"TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"tdbFrame Size/b/tdtdbRecommended Height/b/tdtdbTop Tube/b/tdtdbStem/b/tdtdbCrank/b/tdtdbChainstay/b/tdtdbSeat Angle/b/tdtdbHead Angle/b/tdtdbWheelbase/b/tdtdbStandover Height/b/td/trTR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"td15"/tdtd5'1"-5'7"/tdtd533/tdtd110mm/tdtd170mm/tdtd430/tdtd73/tdtd70/tdtd1020/tdtd28"/td/trTR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"td17"/tdtd5'5"-5'9"/tdtd559/tdtd110mm/tdtd170mm/tdtd430/tdtd73/tdtd70/tdtd1054/tdtd30"/td/trTR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"td19"/tdtd5'7"-5'11"/tdtd533/tdtd110mm/tdtd170mm/tdtd430/tdtd73/tdtd70/tdtd1065/tdtd32"/td/trTR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"td21"/tdtd5'10"-6'1"/tdtd586/tdtd110mm/tdtd170mm/tdtd430/tdtd73/tdtd70.5/tdtd1077/tdtd32"/td/trTR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center"td23"/tdtd5'11"-6'4"/tdtd599/tdtd110mm/tdtd170mm/tdtd430/tdtd73/tdtd70.5/tdtd1090/tdtd34"/td/tr/tablep/pbrppbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Bicycle Buying Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Finding the Right Bike/font/strongbr To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:pstrongfont color=CC6600The Right Ride/font/strongbr In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:ullistrongRoad and Racing Bikes/strong--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain. listrongMountain Bikes/strong--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine. listrongComfort/Cruiser Bikes/strong--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family. /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600The Right Price/font/strongbr A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.ullistrongEntry-level/strong--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use. listrongMid-range/strong--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension. listrongHigh-end/strong--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action./ulpstrongfont color=CC6600The Right Size/font/strongbr Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:ullistrongStand-over Height/strong--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height. listrongTop Tube Length/strong--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit. listrongBikes for Women/strong--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance. /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600The Right Accessories/font/strongbr When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:ulliHelmet (this is a must!) liSeat pack liLock liHydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages liSpare tubes liPortable bike pump liGloves /ulp
