I have a 2015 Escape (blue and green) and it's been a great bike. I had over shopped everything and was tired of looking at bikes. I went back to this one bike shop and asked if it was suitable, they said it was so I bought it. I rode for a while, then it was a garage ornament, then I started riding in earnest July 2018. I've rode it quite a few miles since then. I have added Ergon Grips, Shimano XT PD-T8000 SPD Pedals, a Rack and a Bag. I had the back wheel rebuild after breaking a few spokes a few times, I'm a little bigger fellow and ride a little physical sometimes. I also replace the tires a while back. I really enjoy riding it, it suits me quite well.
