TELL YOUR FRIENDS

This bike is full of style and comfort. I get compliments almost every time I ride it. The Rendezvous 1 comes with some great city-ready features at a decent price-point. This is an ideal introductory city bike that also works as a summer cruiser with a bit more functionality.

WISH LIST

I found the twist shifters difficult to use, especially with sweaty hands. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been spoiled by my Brooks England saddle, but I found the stock saddle uncomfortable and ended up swapping it for a sprung leather model.

IDEAL RIDER

This is a bike designed to let you sit up and look around while you ride. If comfort, cost, and classic styling are your criteria, then this is the bicycle for you.

OVERALL

I feel elegant as I rode on the Rendezvous 1 and once I changed the saddle the rides were always oh-so-comfortable. It’s a great city-ready bicycle for ladies who are looking for something that is easy, well-designed, and at an affordable price for day-to-day trips. While not every feature the bike came with was right for me, they may be perfect for others. If not, I found it simple to customize to my liking.
