Editorial Reviews
Experience the luxury and cutting edge design of Cadillac as you roll down the streets with this 21-speed Cadillac Adventure AVP2.1 women's comfort bike. It features front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping and a dual suspension, which adds a heavy duty shock absorber to the back wheel in addition to the front fork suspension with 3 inches of travel. In addition to adding to the overall comfort, the dual (or full) suspension system improves traction on bumpy surfaces by keeping the tires in more nearly constant contact with the surface.

It features a strong, rust-resistant 7005 aluminum alloy frame that's built to last, but is nicely light. You'll enjoy a comfortable ride over any surface thanks to the padded dual-density seat. It also includes an adjustable stem and half-moon handlebars for added comfort, and to help provide you with an upright riding position. And you'll be the talk of the town with the sleek silver-and-black coloring characteristic of classic Cadillac styling.

Customer Reviews
Great Ride!
This is a great bike! It is comfortable, strong, smooth, and a kick to ride. I would highly reccomend this bike except for a few things you need to know beforehand....
1) The bike box clearly states it must be put together by a certified bike person but obviously if you are buying it online you are planning to put it together yourself.
2) My husband is very handy, but he struggled putting it together and the bike manuals were not a lot of help. We finally enlisted a friend who is a bike afficinado and has a bike workshop setup at his house
3) We tried the phone number for tech support and couldn't ever reach anyone at Cadillac. Finally we googled bike shops that carry these bikes and found a guy in Oklahoma who runs a bike shop who answered his phone and was willing to help us. He said he gets several calls a week on these bikes and even he has had trouble getting Cadillac to answer the phone and he's a dealer!
4)One reason we bought these bikes was because of the warranty. But you void the warranty when you put it together yourself! I'm not sure Amazon should be advertising the warranty without making that clear on the information!
Now, setting that aside--we got the bikes put together and we love them! I just ride around town but I look for excuses to hop on my bike and run errands because it is so much fun! It is a great looking ride--and I am expecting many years of riding fun out of it!

Akward handlebars and uncomfortable seat
The great things about this bike are: it's a great price, good looking, and has well made components. The bad things are: it is not easy to assemble (had to take it to local bike shop as many other reviewers did), it's very heavy (you're pedaling your body weight plus an extra 42lbs of bike), there is no kick stand (you can buy your own and add it on as other reviewers have said), the gears are noisy, and most importantly for a "comfort" bike, it's not very comfortable.
The seat is very hard and I can't exactly pinpoint what it is but it just feels akward and uncomfortable (another reviewer pointed this out also). The handlebars are in a "U" shape instead of straight across which puts your arms in an akward position, especially for a long ride . Most of the "cruiser" bikes have "U" shaped handlebars for tuling around the beach. I wasn't expecting it on this kind of bike.
Even though the bike shop custom fit it to me and I got the 19" frame (I'm 5'10), it just feels akward and after about ten minutes, I want off. I will keep using this bike but I wish I would have gone to the bike shop and tried several. You don't know what you're getting when you buy off the internet. My advice would be to try this first before you buy it.

Nice Bike
Free shipping arrived in 5 days as advertised. Shipping box was torn up with a minor blemish on the paint. Assembly took 45 minutes, there were no instructions. I had to reinstall the front forks (remember, front and rear disk brakes are on the same side) got em backwards the first time. Both derailers needed adjusting to shift correctly and quietly. Welds are a bit rough but the bike is a good deal and the quality is good. I might buy another for myself.
