Review: Great entry-level road bike. - For the price, this is an excellent entry-level road bike. The flat bar is nice, but the grips slide around and needed to be swapped out (this is the only real negative about this bike, I'd take a quarter star off) The geometry is great for speed and hill climbing. The derailluers shift quickly, smoothly and accurately. They only required a little adjustment out of the box. The brakes do squeal, which is inherent on some disk brakes so Im not sure if the adjustment is off or its just the pads. It was very easy to assemble. Requires only a few basic tools. Adjustable wrench (or open-end wrenches), a set of good hex keys and a screwdriver is all I needed. I would have a local bike professional tune it up after assembly if you don't know how to adjust the derailleur and brakes. However,YouTube has videos and it's not hard once you get the hang of what everything adjusts for. I did need a gel cover for the seat or would definitely recommend riding shorts. I ride about 20 miles a day on this bike and overall am very happy with it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ok I'm an idiot....how do you shift gears? Please take pity on an old man.  Here's what I know: there are two levers on the side of the brakes ;->**
A: Biking can be a bit confusing at first, but we're here to help :) There are 2 paddles on each shifter, the large paddle and the small paddle behind it. Move these paddles separately, pushing them inward toward the center of the bike. Shifting the right paddles controls the rear derailleur and moves the chain onto the different cogs in the rear. Shifting the left paddles controls the front derailleur and moves the chain onto the different chainrings. When it's too hard to pedal and you want to shift into an easier gear, push inward on the right large paddle. When it's too easy to pedal and you want a harder gear, push the small paddle inward. The left side operates like the right, only the functions of the 2 paddles are reversed, and they make a big difference to the ease of pedaling. Note: in order to shift, you need to be pedaling . Happy Trails!

**Q: The color is green and black?**
A: The color label on this model is black and green. Thank you.

**Q: I am 5’8 this step-over frame is better for me?**
A: It should be ok.  I am 5’11” and it seems good for me...the frame might be a bit high for you, but the seat could be adjusted to your height.

**Q: 700c  racing rear rims**
A: Yes 700c rims

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great entry-level road bike.
*by P***N on July 22, 2017*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Phocus 1600 is a good (enough) bike for beginners
*by A***R on July 21, 2023*

This bike is good value for the money, as most big brands offer their entry level models at or slightly above $1000. I bought this bike at $770 at the time of review on Amazon. It conveniently ships within a few days. I am 5'9" and I bought the 53 cm frame, which works great. I prefer the smaller size always, as it is lighter and easier to pack. The bike needs assembly, so if you are not familiar with bike mechanics, I still suggest to consider going to your local bike store and buying a bike from them, pre-assembled and tuned up. The assembly took me about 1-2 hours, I didn't measure it. The breaks needed a bit of an adjustment, which is just tightening a screw, but the derailleurs needed a lot of tinkering. I was able to do all this myself from past experience and Youtube, but if you are a total beginner, you won't be able to do this and your shifting will be noisy or even worse - throw the chains off your cogs. It is worth noting that the Shimano Claris R2000 group set is not supposed to be noisy or do such things, so if it doesn't work for you, it likely needs adjustments. The bike comes with cheap tubes that popped after a few days, as I left the bike in the car on a hot summer day. Rookie mistake, it can happen to expensive bikes too. The tube also comes with Schroeder valves which are the same as cars, but I found it hard to inflate with a handheld pump. I had to take the bike to a gas station to inflate it to 80 PSI! not convenient. I replaced the front tube with a Continental tube ($15 for two) with a Presta valve which was easy enough to inflate at home with a small, handheld pump. To sum it up, as you see, the bike requires a good bit of assembly and adjustments. If you have never done that, I would suggest cashing out $1000 for a known brand at a bike store and they will tune it up for you. I hope this helps!
