Summary of Reviews

4 reasons not to buy

Fixed riders were upset to see that their package didn’t contain pedal-straps.

Others were disappointed that a freewheel wasn’t included with the Goon.

One rider reported limited tire clearance on the front fork.

Order faults included sending out an older model, as well as missing pedals and grips.

Bottom line

Throne’s Goon is a well-loved city bike. It’s not kit out with a freewheel but it definitely can be. If you ride fixed, you’ll most likely be using this as an urban cruiser / commuter that wheelies on command. It’s unlikely that most riders will draw much versatility from the Goon in this form. It wouldn’t be great at the bike park and braking ability will be based on your skills and willingness to take risks. Customer service sounds like it leaves something to be desired but all-in-all, Goon riders enjoyed a solid, simple and durable bike.
