Around The Block Men's Beach Cruiser Bike, Step-Through Hybrid Bicycle with Rear Rack, 24 or 26 Inch Wheels, Multiple Speed Options and Colors

Had to adjust the derailleur a bit after assembly. Nothing major.

I’ve had this bike for about 7 months now. It’s a fair bicycle for the intended use, a casual rider, it’s super sleek, super trendy and love the black color. However, the manual instructions to set up can be quite confusing and tricky, took me almost 3 hours to build. Speed is okay, can’t go too fast because the chain does fall off here and there. Overall, seems a bit pricey if you’re looking for a daily use kind of bike.

Overall i feel like this is a good quality bike for the money i have a few small complaints. As a mechanic, it was easy enough to assemble. I had it together in about 20 minutes, not counting the time it took to cut a million zip ties. I didnt even open the instructions. The bike rides true and handles like a dream.Now for the bad. Its a beach cruiser. Why did i recieve mountain bike pedals? Not only are they mountain bike pedals, but theyre cheap resin pedals like youd find at walmart. Not befitting a bike i paid almost 500$ for. Also, to get the seat post to stop moving side to side i had to torque the clamp almost to the point of failure. After riding it twice ive had to tighten the handlebar stem as many times, also to the point where any tighter is gonna strip out. The crank bearings had grease on them, but not enough, so pulled the crank and repacked the bearings with marine grade grease. Lastly, while the brake pads have no clear indicator of top or bottom, my rear brake was screaming like a cat with its tail on fire right out of the box until i figured they were upside down.All simple fixes, but for almost 500$, not fixes that should be needed out of the box. I also went on youtube looking for a review of the bike and brand, and low and behold, there arent any, other than from 6-3-0 themselves.Overall, good bike, but expect to do some adjustments and minor upgrades.

I haven't even ridden it 10 miles and I already wish I hadn't even taken out of the box..The seat is uncomfortable.The Handlebars are the least Ergonomic design I have ever used in my 45 years of bike riding. It truly is a uncomfortable and dangerous design.No mounting locations for a water bottle cage.The rear rack is not flat,, who does that??It should have come with Fenders..No quick release hubs..Basic cranks..The rim brakes are cheap quality..Had to rebuild the fronts right out of the box.The only reason I will keep this platform,, is for the 21 speed cruiser frame... Those are just hard to find..But it will take another $200-$300 just to make it a comfortable,, functional platform to ride..Until then,, I still have my $130 Huffy 7 speed comfort bike that needed nothing out of the box except a rear rack and bottle cage..

First impressions of the bike out of the box was very good.Assembly was straight forward and fairly easy for anyone familiar with hand tools. I made sure the bike was assembled as perfectly as possible.After taking the bike for a few local rides on some dirt\paved trails, totaling approx. 40 miles, I decided to take it for a solo over-night bike-packing trip up at Grand Island, Michigan.My trip was to be approx. 28 miles of dirt trails, with an elevation gain of approx. 1,900 feet. Some of the sections of the trail were fairly rough with fallen branches, etc.My gear consisted of a standard backpack with sleeping bag, clothes, food, water, and misc. camping stuff, while my 6 lb. tent was strapped to the rear bike rack.This is how my trip went on this new 3-speed cruiser:After approx. 8 miles I noticed a lot of rattling on the back rack. Unfortunately, one of the upper mounting bolts had completely unthreaded and fallen out. Fortunately, I had some extra small bungee cords and was able to support it enough to continue on.After approx. 20 miles, my handlebars became loose and starting tilting up and down. Shame on me for not carrying the proper tools to tighten it up. I managed to ride this way for the final stretch to the end.Overall, it was a GREAT experience with the bike.After I got home, I evaluated the bolts that hold the back rack on and concluded that the stock bolts are too cheap, so I replaced them with automotive grade bolts.I realize that this bike was not designed for this type of use, hence the reason I am impressed with how it performed overall.I really loved sitting upright and enjoying the sights while pedaling the backcountry of Grand Island. In my opinion, although I had to walk it up several hills, it was much more enjoyable and comfortable than riding a mountainbike.I intend to take it on more bike-packing trips with the addition of some panniers.I LOVE the bike. The reason for deducting a star is because I feel the back rack and bolts are a bit on the cheap side. I am doubting the strength of the rack to support my next load of approx. 30 lbs., but we'll see.And the 3 speeds were GREAT. There were several small hills that I was able to peddle, which I would not have been able to with a single speed cruiser. Shifting was spot on.At this price, it's a great bike for the money.

I use it to go to work every day (about 40 min ride) and i couldn't be happier! The bike is so comfortable and i like that you ride it in a more relaxed upright position, as opposed to leaning forward. My commute is mostly flat so the single speed model is great for me, but it is true that it gets difficult to go uphillShipping was fast and hassle free, ordered on a Sunday and received it on Wednesday, came in a large box that looked a lot like the ones for a big flat screen tv. The bike was well secured and had protecting foam to prevent different parts from scratching each other.Putting the bike together was not difficult, at least for the single speed model, i didn't have to figure out how to wire the breaks because you just pedal backwards to stop. The assembly manual i received was for the multiple-speed model, so not everything was accurate but i checked their youtube video and it made things so much easier.The bike looks and feels very sturdy (weighs about the same as a mountain bike) and i love how minimalistic it is, just 1 chain and 2 pedals, so fewer things that break down over time.I'm very happy with my bike!

This Bike was perfect and looks perfect outside of the Engel & Völkers Ottawa Central shop in Canada.Can't wait to see it with Bell!!Thank you Sixthreezero.

The bike arrived on time, it is easy to assemble, there are videos available to guide you. My bike arrived with an issue, I contact the company and they guide me through the fix, easy process. Bike is comfy and fun to ride. I bought 2, 1 for me and 1 for my spouse, and we are both 😊 happy.

The Around the Block Men's 26" 21-speed in matte black looks fantastic in person! I was excited to receive the box, it arrived a week later than suggested, and when it did it was lying on its side when the box clearly has 'top' with an arrow pointing, this I believe, was the reason for the slightly bent front rim I found in the box. (Canada Post issue?)The bike was carefully padded in the box and it almost took longer removing the foam and plastics than assembly of the bike! There was a coloured assembly booklet with very clear instructions. The bike was advertised as 'comes 85% assembled' and it was. You just need to assembly the front tire, remove and adjust the front brakes pad assembly, the handlebars (which have the gear changer/front and back brake levers placed on the inside for transport), seat and rear rack. The handlebar gear/brake lever placement was odd, there wasn't anything in the booklet about this and the front brake/tire assembly cable needed to be released to get the front tire on, not hard but it would have been nice to have this done for you.Two other mechanical concerns; first the handlebars still can move even when the allen bolt to secure them from moving side to side is VERY tight; second, the Shimano gear shifter viewer to see what gear you are in, is on the handlebars and you can't see the number unless you bend far forward.I contacted sixthreezero support through email about the bent rim and they replied quickly with what they need to put it into claims and get me a replacement part.Overall a fantastic looking cruiser that I predict will get many rides in the future!

After encountering problems with the paper instructions as some assembly instructions are not accurate with the substituted parts, the video made it much clearer. Thanks to their customer care for pointing me to right resources. The front reflector was different and how insanely tight the seat must be set before it stationary isn't very clear in the printed instruction. It also helps if you have your own tools as the included ones are not the most comfortable to work with. Tools are always good to have around the house, so pick up a basic set if you don't already own some.Otherwise, very comfortable (even in minus 7 degree Celsius weather) for casual biking to destinations. I am pretty glad I decided earlier this year I decided to make biking a more important part of my transportation mix before the gas prices spiked as they did.
