Sports reviews of Lamborghini Rapido Road Bike

Customer Review: Great Bike for Great Price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

I just got this bike last week and so far it's been really great. This is the first bike i've ever bought and put together on my own. I was a bit nervous about that but it was really easy. All i needed was a few sized allen keys (which you can get an any bike shop or even dicks or sports authority for about 5 bucks) a screw driver and a wrench for adjusting. It took me about 30 - 40 minutes and I was really taking my time making sure i did it right.

Once you put it together you definitely want to adjust the breaks and make sure they are set to what you would want. Mine came with the back breaks rubbing the wheel and the front brakes wouldn't even hit the tire when you pressed them. It took about 10 minutes to figure out how to adjust them and do it. The book walks you through how to do it so if you can read, then you can adjust them. After that I took it for my first ride.

Gear shifting was OK. It clicked in a little rough and the first ride i couldn't get the front gears into 3rd gear, Only 2nd and 1st would work. After i got back i adjusted the gears which are also really simple and I was able to get all the gears to work while riding. They still are a little rough going in and out but are working now.

Make sure you put the bike together correctly and if you have any problems at all feel free to call the manufacturer. They are really helpful about making sure you are happy with it. I talked with a guy named Nelson or Eric and he was great, call 1-866-462-4535. I read a review about the tires hitting the pedal and it was only because the bike was put together wrong and the tire must have been put on backwards. I didn't have any serious problem with it once it was put together correcly, so just take your time with it. It will make for a much more enjoyable riding experience.

As for the size of the bike, I'm 5'6" with a short inseam (about 28") and it fits me pretty perfect. I can just fit over the top tube with my feet flat on the ground and while riding i'm able to get into a really comfortable riding position. I think any smaller would be too crunched together and any bigger i wouldn't be able to stand. If you're not sure about hte size there are tons of websites that you can check you size on but also talk to the manufacturer before hand they can help you with that too.

I actually bought the bike because I have my first triathlon coming this June, and I didn't want to spend 600-700 on a really nice (still used) road bike from my local bike shop, but i wanted to try out the sport. It's really a great bike that works for beginners and you can't beat the price. Nobody wants to spend up to a $1000 on a bike and find out 6 months later they hate the sport. I'm not really sure how it will hold up for an actual race, but once i finish I'll post again to let you guys know.

All in all it's a great bike for a great price for beginners and I would recommend it to anyone, but be patient out of the box because it may need some adjusting.

Description of Lamborghini Rapido Road Bike

The Lamborghini? Rapido - The traditional road bike has been the pride of Italy for decades and is a classic example. Custom tube Aluminum frame absorbs road shocks, and the drivetrain is composed of custom Shimano RS41-shifters and TX-30 derailleurs. Available in both men's and ladies frames. Customer Care at 1-866-462-4535.

With features like a lightweight aluminum frame, an advanced Shimano drivetrain, and efficient 700cc wheels, the Lamborghini Rapido is certain to remain a favorite weapon for novice cyclists looking to speed past the competition. The featured 21-speed Shimano drivetrain was designed with shifting efficiency and durability in mind. For added ease of control, the bicycle's twist grip shifters are mounted just to the inside of the traditional brake levers. Due to the close proximity of the brake levers and shifters, riders have quick access to braking and shifting without moving their hands too far--an ideal feature for added safety and convenience. To help tackle those steep hills, the Rapido comes complete with a triple front crank set, a feature that gives the rider seven incredibly low gears. For increased rider comfort, the bicycle comes complete with a soft cork wrapped handlebar, a comfy custom designed Lamborghini saddle, and an adjustable quill stem--a feature that allows you to lower and raise the stem height according to the rider's needs.
