Lmk if you get it. Might jump on one too just cause I need a backup bike. Sizing is always tricky
 
What is the deal with those Aventon bikes? That’s a really deal considering. Are they like State Bikes?
 
I dunno - they look nice but at that price all sorts of corners have to have been cut. The wheels won’t last and the drivetrain will be cheap (although for a fixed wheel that’s not too bad - there’s not a lot to get wrong).

It looks a bit style over function to me and I think it would be a false economy.

A Surly is a significantly better bike.

Yea haha I just really like to look but I am beyond happy with my Surly Steamroller. I’m just a steel rider.

What about a first timers bike?

for a first timer, an aventon is cool. It's priced that way for a complete bike because it's entry-level. Like others have said in here, the components won't be top tier. So once you decide to take riding a bit more serious, you'll want to spend money on upgrading to better parts.
 
did a similar-ish ride today, first time going on the capital crescent trail. Lots of people on the path.

Nice! It was my first time taking it all the way up to the Bethesda area. Had to hop off too since it was getting a bit to crowded for me.
