This was my first time
This was my first time purchasing from Solé and definitely will not be my last. I got the Foamside II in 520mm. I am 5’7” tall and about 100lbs. I have long legs, so this was the perfect size for me. I fit very comfortably on the bike.
Assembling was pretty easy, I did have to adjust the brakes a few times to get it ~just~ right (if you know, you know). The front wheel was a bit wobbly at first, however, I used a drill to tighten the bolts and it’s sturdy now.
The only con is that I don’t completely love how low the handlebars feel, I wish there was a way to make them just a bit higher. However, this is all fixable and just personal preference.
This is an excellent bike for those looking to get into the world of high quality bikes. I would say this is very similar to State Bicycles. The color is unmatched, you won’t find this anywhere else. The sea foam green wheels are compliment magnets.
I placed a discreet AirTag holder where the water bottle mount goes and it blends in perfectly with the color of the frame.
Don’t hesitate - you will not be disappointed!
