4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bike but support needs some help, February 7, 2007

I bought this as a Christmas present hoping that Amazon.com would pull through and make a special holiday for my girlfriend's son. Amazon.com delivered in style and exceeded my expectations. However.... We waited till Christmas morning to open the box. The bike was in great shape except there was a seat post clamp missing and the crown nut for the handle bar yoke was damaged. It looked to be damage that was done when the bicycle was originally packed at the factory as exterior of the shipping box was in great shape. As per the instruction manual we contacted the customer services about the missing parts rather then Amazon. It took 3 tries to get them to ship us the correct parts as the manual was too generalized to provide an adequate description to the mechanically challenged support person on the phone. Had the manual been better written I'm sure that this would have not been an issue. I will say that the customer service folks were very courteous and did their best to get a resolution to our problem.

I gave this bike 4 stars as it is a great value for the money paid. Amazon.com service was great and support from the bicycle manufacture was good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy 2 Assemble, one glitch, June 14, 2009

I bought this bike for my 5'2" 10 year old. He loves it. Granted we've only had it for a month. It arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. No worries about gears, they were already assembled and good to go. The one glitch; the rear tire was flat the next morning after assembling it. Had to take the gear assembly apart (argh) and replace. Wasn't as bad as anticipated. You can get virtually the same bike already assembled at WalMart now for the same or less $$. Wasn't the case when I bought it. But It seems to be a good sturdy bike.

Quality of the bike was okay but be careful when trying to adjust the cables. The ends pop off really easy and then the cables fray out. I recommend crimping the caps on the cable ends before you start. Other than that pretty nice bike for my son.
