The colors and graphics make me envision riding happily along the shore road on a warm and sunny summer day in Maine for a leisurely trip to the general store. Will review again later to report on the mechanics of riding (and to tell if the vision became reality). Very Pretty Bike

I was looking for a cheaper but reliable bike to replace my old and falling apart car and this bike was exactly what I was looking for. It's fast, comfortable and fairly easy to assemble. After riding if for a short time I am already thinking about upgrading some of the parts (brakes, tires, and rims.) but only to make an already awesome bike better. Awesome Commuter

Bike has a 3-speed shifter that did not operate. Poor paint quality. Damage to fender either in shipping or packaging. Called Nirve representative and because I purchased through Amazon I had no recourse to get bike repaired. They really did not want to help at all. Finally they said to take bike to Nirve Dealer (Michaels, Newbury Park, CA) - so we did. They charged us $35 dollars when Nirve said there would be no-charge. Bike shifter still does not work. What a nightmare. Nirve Lahina Cruiser

It features high quality construction, a great paint job, and a very nice ride. A couple things to note however: <br /> <br />First, the powder blue color that is featured in the photo and the description is not what I received. The bike that was delivered is navy blue (this is more a criticism of Amazon than the bike). Fortunately, my wife still loves it. <br /> <br />Second, the assembly process was not as straightforward as I was expecting. The bike comes with much of the bike assembled, but you do have to spend some time putting on the handlebars, the fenders, the seat, and the front-brake. The instructions were insufficient, leaving out important steps and causing me to have to undo steps and redo them as I figured out the proper way to put the bike together. That said, I was able to get through it, and it turned out to be a rewarding, though time-consuming, process. <br /> <br />A couple tips to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did: 1) be sure to fasten the rear reflector before tightening down the fender. 2) be sure to attach the front fender before rigging the front brake. These are probably obvious if you've worked much with bikes, but as I said, the instructions are vague. <br /> <br />All in all, and now that it's put together, I'm very satisfied. By the way, this was for the single-speed bike. I'm not sure how much additional assembly would be necessary for the three-speed version. Very cool bike, but a few things to note…

I researched online for several days before purchasing the Nirve Wispy in the Vintage Cream. The Nirve womens bikes are listed in the top ten womens cruisers for 2009. Go to [...] to find superior customer service. They even have videos to send you via email for assembly of your bike. They come to you 85% assembled and the video for completing the assembly is very thorough with great close ups of what is being done in every step and with what tool. The paint job on these bikes has a double coat of clear high gloss! They really gleam in the Sun...or so I've read. My bike is on it's way to me now! Perfect for me!

I have seen these in a local sporting goods store but was able to get it from Amazon for less. The assembly was minimal, even less than product listing states. My only problem with it is that the seat and the handle bar grips are not the same as if purchased direct from Nirve. The picture on Amazon is accurate, I just had not noticed it and was expecting it to be the same as pictured on manufacturers web site. Black Plumeria Island Flower Beach Cruiser on the Nirve site has pink and white flowers on both seats and grips vs Amazon's version is black with cream floral print, as they do have pictured. No big deal, just wasn't observed prior. Overall, very happy with bike! Nirve Beach Cruiser
