I bought this bike, I put it together, and it looked great. Unfortunately, it's good looks could not mask the fact that it had many problems. It's front forks were not straight, the brakes barely worked and the freewheel broke on the first ride. The seat broke after landing from a very small drop.The derailer hook snapped while riding down hill sending me over the handle bars.I have put alot of money into this bike and have had to customize it my way, which was not my intention or in my budget. I felt like i was ripped off for almost $500. This bike does turn heads and has SOME really nice elements. I feel this company needs to do an overview on how they put these bikes together because they have lost me as a customer. I will never buy another bike from them, but I do hope they can do something better for others in the future. So to the people who want this bike, please take it to bike shop when you get it to see if you are getting what you paid for. Then at least you can return it if yours is as busted as mine was. Maybe i was just unlucky. I hpoe that these eye catching bikes are not all as much of a disaster as mine was.

The truth is Lamborghini does not make bicycles they make cars. The company who really made this bicycle is Pacific Cycles. For over 10 years now Pacific Cycles has been tricking the public into buying budget low quality bicycles. They have bought well known companies such as Schwinn, GT, and Mongoose. Pacific Cycles is simply tricking people into buying their bicycles because of the name on the down tube of the bicycle. People think oh Mongoose I know Mongoose they use to make great BMX bicycles back when I was a kid. Oh wow Lamborghini makes a bicycle? If it's made by Lamborghini it has to be some exotic high performance bicycle right? WRONG! Pacific Cycles has tricked you.

Ever heard the saying... "You get what you pay for"? It's true and if you expect to get a quality bike with full suspension you should expect to pay a minimum of $1500. These bikes retail in the $300 - $500 range because they are garbage. Here is how Union Pacific cuts the costs. First the bikes are made with high tensile steel. Of course they advertise it like high tensile steel is a good thing. You really want a bike made from Aluminum or Chromoly. If you get a bike made from steel and the metal is good quality it will generally advertise who made the tubes. Look for a sticker saying Reynolds, Colombus, Tange Prestige, or OX. High Tensile steel is the worst metal used to make bike frames because it is soft,heavy, and has an early failure rate. Now you may have noticed some brand name like Shimano on this bike, however these are bottom of the line shimano componets that are not suitable for off road use.

The build quality on these bikes are absolutley horrific. The guys who build these bikes are paid per bike built and these bikes do not undergo a quality control test after being built. So the people who assemble these bikes do so as quickly as possible to make the most amount of money in a given day. This will lead to a bike that will need adjustments from day one and will rack up a nice little bill at the local bike mechanics. Honestly it's not safe to ride these bikes because they have not been assembled correctly.

In short......... save your money and buy a better bike. Your first emergency room bill will be more than you spent on this bike.

This is a bike that is designed to look flashy and uses name brands to sucker those who do not know much about bikes into buying this bike.

As a general rule of thumb.......... you should only buy a bike from a shop that sells nothing but bikes. If you follow this rule, you will probably buy a decent bike.

I bought this bike for my younger brother for his birthday. It came in a timely fashion, yes, but it came broken. My brother had to spend something like 150 dollars to fix several things on it, and that is besides the money he had to spend to have it put together. Needless to say, I was not impressed. However, when I offered to call Amazon and try and get some kind of refund for the damages, my brother said that he loves the bike, and he didn't want to have to send it back to prove the damage. So, we didn't do anything about. Therefore, I can't say they didn't help us. We didn't seek their help. I wouldn't recommend doing that! When you spend this much money on a bike (for me this is a lot of money for a bike!), it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to make further adjustments. And besides that, he couldn't ride it when it was built, since there were pieces that had to be ordered. A total pain in the ass, basically. It sort of ruined the whole birthday present, since he had to pay for his own gift!
Still, my brother absolutely loves the bike. He rides it every day. It looks good, but please, PLEASE, if it comes damaged, try and get someone from the company to pay for the damage. It's just not right to let that go. Hope everyone has better luck than we did! It is a good bike when everything on it is working. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy it. Just saying you should do something if your bike has the damage ours did.

I had this bike 2 days and freewheel broke, I contacted them and the lady was nice and sent me a whole new rear tire assembly, BUT that lasted 4 MORE short rides and freewheel is BROKE AGAIN. Now you can't tell me they are not aware of this problem I'll bet everybody with this bike has experienced the same as problem,other than that I like the bike but this is very aggravating. I think they should make it right or let me take it to a shop that can and pay for it, had I knonw this bike would break so often I would never had bought it. I cant help but feel I've been RIPPED OFF and I will never purchase a bike from them again.

I'm surprised with two previous reviews?
It sounds like their hands are growing not from the right place.

My bike came on time as it was expected.
And of course it was in the box.
So, I had to set up steering wheel, pedals, and front wheel.
I used for it simple Bicycle Tool (Topeak Alien II 26-Function) and the process was really easy.
Than, logically, I precised breaks and shifts. Softened the spin and bike was ready.

It runs very well. I maid on it 55m/hp and climbed all highest hills in SF.
I truly don't believe that some parts could be broken. All parts are made by well-known German brands except aluminum Chinese frame, which actually is also good.

So this is a good choice for those how has a taste in style.

The basic bike was OK until I needed to replace a spoke protector and cassette. The "importer" sent me the cassette twice before they got it right! It has now been a total of five times for them to send me the correct spoke protector (including a "tech" taking over). Yes, it is still the wrong one. I now have a bike that is nothing but spare parts.I sent a complete description including dimensions of the problem and still to this day, have the wrong parts.

Do not buy any bikes here as the "importer" cannot furnish the correct warranty parts. Oh, one other item: The price went up 50% in four months.

I have had the bike a year. I have put 1400 miles on the bike. I can not say enough good things about the bike. I am in love with it. I have bought the full range of bikes spending 200.00 then replacing it after a few months. Then spending 3K and having to have it worked on all the time. This is a great bike and I had a issue kent bikes are the best to work with to get me parts and fast. Don't be fooled by people that say the bike is not great. Look 1400 miles later it has held up better then anything else I have had for 20% of the money.

don't ever think that this company's name is cool. Even though it says lamborghini, don't trust this crap. torino lamborghini is not from Italy, it's from USA. don't make this name fool you. lamborghini makes cars not bike. a company who made this lamborghini bike is Kent International. they also make cadillac, gmc bikes also. they are so stupid to come up with this name. remember lamborghini makes cars not bikes. Kent International is fooling you! :(

I was looking for a bicycle in the three hundred dollar range.. I had a bike in mind that I had sen at a Large Dept Store. . Then I decided to look for it on the internet and see if they had others similiar ones ,, . Before I knew it , I was looking at all kinds of different bikes in that price range..
I came across this bicycle , and it offered more than the other bikes . i liked the style , all the great parts that are on it , and I felt this was the best bicycle of all that I ahd looked at , and I looked at a lot !!!
Since owning the bike I have enjoyed riding it . It's a real head turner ,as well as a smooth riding bike . Good quality parts .
The bike assembled very easily ! I will say that after i assembled the bike , I felt like the bearings in the back wheel were not quite right. I called the number that came with the bike ( It's a BIG RED STOP sighn that says ' call this number if you have any problems '. Within a week there was a BRAND NEW WHEEL AND TIRE ON MY PORCH !!!!!!! The lady at th bike center was very nice , and she said just fax me oveer certain information , and there it was ... NO PROBLEM !!! I kept riding the bike with the ori=ginal wheel , and the problem has has just about dissapeared ,, THEW BIKE JUST NEEDED TO BE RIDIN !!
ALL IN ALL i WOULD RECOMEND THIS BIKE , I THIS IT IS DEFINSATLEY WORTH THE MONEY !!!!

I wanted to get into biking and this bike is great! If you are hardcore mountain biker, you will have to switch out a few things.

But is great to say that you have a Lamborghini!!!
