Good Points
This bike is reasonably light. has a good cassette and crank set. the forks and handle bars are pretty good, the stem is a little heavy, and the bike has a good headset and bottom bracket.
Bad Points
This bike has some minor problems that can be fixed. the rims are not very good, i got my bike and bent the rims within 3 weeks and have gotten them trued just about 5 or 6 times. the crank set got a little squeakey after almost 8 months. when left in the cold (no rain, snow, or anything) i set it down on its right side to lock my chain back up, and got on and the cassette just snapped. didnt work, just broke right on the spot. i got it home, and the next day it worked fine. i dont know what happend but it still works.
General Comments
The mirraco icon intro is a pretty relyable bike. i like how it rides, and its reasonably light. I do have some minor problmes with it. I have had the bike for about 10 months, and recently my crank became slighlty lose. That also happend to my front tire. about a week ago i was riding my bike home from a friends house, and felt the front tire shaking. at first i thought the hub came lose again, (that once occured on my bike). I later found out that the left nut on the axial randomly came lose.
