Being a bike snob I researched many bikes of this style and decided on the Miz Della Cruz by Diamond Back for my little girl. Her 16" was a Diamond Back and we were very happy with it. Also being a BMX racer back in the day, and a friend of the Diamond Back Team Manager Sandy Finkelman, I have a warm spot in my heart for the Daimond Back name. DB is one of the only companies that make reasonable priced bikes that has not been acquired by Pacific (Dural), the company that ruined GT and Mongoose. Diamond Back is now owned by Raleigh America which employs Americans! Raleigh is one of the oldest UK bike companies making quality bikes. For the money this is a quality bike and a great value. The yellow is a pearl color and more beautiful in person. I highly recommend this bicycle.

My daughter loves this bike. She just fits into it; she is almost 7 (1st grade), and learned to ride without training wheels on a smaller bike a few months ago. She easily jumped on this much larger bike and was cruising away. The frame style makes it easy to get on/off the large frame. The bike is very sturdy and appears to provide a comfortable ride. She just loves it!

Our daughter wanted a beach cruiser bike for her 9th birthday, We live on the beach, so the local beach shops had some VERY nice beach cruisers but were in the $300+ range ... a little too high for us - plus, she is only 9! I found this one on Amazon, after looking at the target and toys r us websites (and other discount bike websites). I was a little leary buying a bike over the internet, but the price was right so we took a chance. It came in 3 days w/ standard shipping. It was in one big box. The tires, seat and handlebars had to be assembled.

Our daughter is average size to a little shorter than avewage, and the 20 inch bike is the PERFECT size. The bike seems to be of good quality and sturdy. The paint is a pale yellow with pretty flower decals (pretty but still "cool") . The tires are what I like most, they are white walled with a bright pink rim - assembled this bike looks better than the picture. The seat has some pink, white and yellow polka dots on it. All in all very stylish and definitely what a 9-11 year old girl would want. My husband, who is very handy, complained a little about the lack of good directions in putting it together (it comes "mostly" assembled, as heretofore mentioned). While there was a manual, the directions for assembly were not detailed. It took about 40 minutes to assemble completely, so I would just caution the buyer to have someone handy put it together or take it a bike shop - I say that because my DH cursed a few times during assembly.

Thus far, the bike seems to be of good quality for a reasonable price.

Bought this for our 9 year old daughter. The bike is really nice and built well. This is something we will have for year and will be able to pass it down to our younger daughter.

I'm only giving the bike 3 stars though as the instructions for putting the bike together are atrocious. The bike actually comes with a booklet that shows how to put together every bike that he company builds which make it extremely difficult to find and follow the instructions for this model. Even worse, part of the bike installation is not covered at all in the manual. I had to come to amazon and look at the product pictures to figure out how to install some of the items.

Great bike, but if you are not mechanically inclined I would pass on it, or ensure you have someone who can help you out.

I had been looking around for quite some time for a nice quality bike for my 6 year old daughter. I wasn't impressed with what was offered at local stores, so I started looking online. This bike will cost you a little more that your average Toys R Us bike, but it is money well spent. What a great bicycle!! Not only is it super cute, it's also a great quality purchase. The seat is very comfy, and my daughter is so thrilled. I got a little basket to go with it (Avenir Wicker Bicycle Basket with Black Velcro (Small), and she's so excited to put her dolls and a bottle of water in it when we go for rides. Highly recommend it!!

Absolutely adorable girl's bike. Some assembly required. No special tools, just a screwdriver and a couple of wrenches.

Assembly took minutes since most of the bike was pre-assembled. The quality of the bike is great. Everyone who sees my daughter on the bike makes a comment on how nice the bike is. There is no comparison to most kids bikes. Your friends will say "I wish I would have bought one of those for my daughter". Great deal for the cost too!!!!

Darling!!! The color is the best yellow, the decals are sooo cute and the pink tires just tie it all together. It is very durable and such a great deal for what you get. I bought the $10 wicker basket to go with it (also available at Amazon) and it was the icing on the cake!!! I can't wait for my daughter turning 6 to get it for her birthday...she will LOVE IT!!!

This bike is very well made! Paint is well done, colors are as shown on site. My daughter is just learning to ride a bike and this is a bike that is a good size and doesn't require squeezing handles or hurting your hind! The bike came in a long flat box with assembly required, but not difficult! I recommend this bike, especially with this great price!

Further to Bret Schroeders comments above. Diamondback may well be owned by Raleigh America now but do let let yourself be fooled, as I was, into thinking the bike is made in the USA! It is clearly marked on the box, "Made in China". I am British and have lived in the US now for 4 months, is it possible to find any mass manufactured consumer goods that are not made in China? From clothes to household goods to bikes, everything seems to be made in china, ever wondered why the US has financial problems? Look no further! As a side note, the UK is going down the same path, god forbid!

Getting off my soap box now, the bike appears to be well made and packed. All the parts were there and with a minimum of hand tools, easy to assemble. My daughter who is a leggy 6yr old finds it comfortable and loves the style and colours. As she has only had the bike since xmas I can say nothing about the durability, if we experience any problems I will update this review.
