The bike is not suited for outdoor use. It should not rust after 3 months. It is what it is for the price. Its cheaply made and will not hold up to everyday riding. The nuts on the arms have to be tightened after every ride. The seat is uncomfortable. I would not recommend this to a client. With that said I applaud titan for sending a replacement bike. If this bike is better I will change my review. It's been frustrating but Chee sent a replacement so maybe this one will better. I've spent more money getting a professional to put it together and on paint/ oil / packing tape then I saved on the purchase.
