HASA 2015 R5 Road Bike Compatible with Shimano 21 Speed

Great bike for the price point. Has decent hardware, Shimano STI shifter/brakes and crank. Nice light alloy wheels, hubs and quick release skewers. Very light bike, about 24 lbs for 60 cm. I highly doubt a better bike can be had at 399 to be honest. Does require some advanced assembly. As shipped, rear wheel, front and rear derailleur are installed. Stem, fork and crank as well. Shifters are installed on drop bar and also are tapped. Must install drop bar and route all brake line and derailleur lines from front to back. If you are not a mechanic, have it assembled at a bike shop. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, a very legit, up and coming bike company is what I gather from my own research on the web. It's a bike shop quality bike without the bike shop rice more or less.

First worries 21 speed, will I be able to stay with a group. Other cyclists say don't let that be a handicap you can work hard and train harder. Well, they were right so the first thing that had to be changed out is the saddle. Just an FYI I purchased this HASA to build endurance. Let's start at the beginning, the box showed up right on time. One phone call to a friend, tools and work stand were at hand. Unboxed the frameset place it in the stand snap some photo's post these on Facebook. HASA has a pretty good frameset just by looking at the welds. Now, this is only a $399 dolor bike, the rest of the assembly went fairly smooth. The rear shifting cable was missing the cable housing this was going to be a known factor. The next day down to the shop and get me a some. Once the bike was assembled tunning needs to be done. This was the longest part of the assembly process. I am by no means a bike mechanic but with some advice from others and a little bit of reading, I was able to get this 21-speed shifting really well. I am one of those persons who keeps up with cleaning an periodic maintenance. After about two months the wheels came untrue. Now I had to bring them to a shop to be true once more. This lasted all of two weeks CRAP. I found a good deal on a set of Vuelta Zerolite wheelset. The only other piece I had to purchase was a new rear cassette, oh ya and some spacer rings. All this set me back about $200 dolors not bad. Know I am up to $600 dolors and been riding ever since with no issues. If you want to learn a little about bicycle repair by one of these Amazon bikes. There are many things I can do to improve this ride and this will come with time. For the most part, I am very pleased with this HASA. I purchased this as a starting point. I use cadence and speed sensors with a Garmin 310 mounted to the handlebars to keep count on my progress. The only thing that really needs to be done for my self would be a bike fitting down at the local shop. I would recommend one to those who would like an inexpensive way to start road cycling.

If I were selling bikes, I would list all the parts too because people deserve to know. When I saw that much, I knew it was a good choice. All the parts (mostly Shimano) look good. I LOVE the neutral color scheme with the black and gray, with the slightly blue logo to accent, it just looks gorgeous. I've taken it for many 2 hour rides and haven't had any problems yet. I'm about 6'2" and the 60cm size is good for me. The seat has a few inches to slide forward or backward for some adjustment. I looked through a lot of road bikes to find something good for a budget and this was definitely worth it.

Good light weight frame and wheels. Fast and smooth. Plastic pedal broke, seat too hard, and left shifter not working. After reviewing many road bikes for weeks, you expect to spend some money on upgrades. That is why I purchased the Hasa. Other bikes I wanted were 600-1300 dollars. New pedals and seat, 50 bucks. Best entry level road bike!

Front brake cable is too short. Came with no instructions so if your not an expert plan on taking it to a bike shop to have it put together.

Have logged several miles on this bike. Some cheaper components need fine tuning to get the most out of your ride. still a great entry level bike to get you in the cycling game.

Awesome entry level road bike, if you are in the market for a bike but not sure is cycling is for you this is the bike to start off with. Awesome bike!!!! Highly recommended!!!

It's true that it appears to be a great value for the money. Aluminum frame and all Shimano components. However, I had mine assembled today by the Amazon certified bicycle builder, and after they got it assembled (assembly only involves running the brake and derailleur cables, attaching the saddle, and attaching the handlebars) they noticed that the left chainstay (the part of the frame that runs from the crank to the rear wheel) was split open for about 3/4 of an inch very near where the rear wheel is. So, they're boxing it up for me to return. I'll buy another and cross my fingers. That is some shoddy quality assurance. The split was readily visible. It's on the top of the chainstay.
