Bottom line
The In the Barrel comes as a singlespeed fat-tire bike or as a cruiser with 2" tires and a choice of 1, 3, 7, and 21 gears. One owner described it as “middle-of-the-road”, but better quality than many department store bikes. In singlespeed form, it’s suitable for cruising on level ground and up moderate inclines. Many positive reviews are repeated verbatim, across multiple retailer websites, bringing their veracity into question. Some buyers received a bike with multiple major faults. Others were luckier and got away with only scratches or a couple of broken spokes. Complete and untarnished specimens seemed to be in the minority.Expert Reviews
