Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for teen girls between 52 and 62 inches tall, the Mongoose Montana girl's mountain bike is a great choice for both trail and street riding. The bike is outfitted with a handcrafted, high-tensile-strength aluminum frame that holds up durably to rough handling. The index 21-speed SRAM MRX shifters, meanwhile, provide plenty of control whether you're on flat or hilly terrain. Finally, the bike's extra-wide 1.95-inch tires roll smoothly over pavement, grass, or dirt. Other features include front and rear linear pull brakes, an adjustable quick-release seat, a three-piece ATB crank, 24-inch wheels with alloy frames, and a rust-resistant powder coating. The Montana carries a one-year warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality -- gears, brakes, wheels. Daughter likes the color, January 13, 2009

We bought this bike for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves purple and the components looked to be of decent quality. Arrived on time and the basic assembly was simple -- handlebars, wheels, seat.

BUT the quality was really bad. The breaks both stuck, the wheels had a wobble that caused them to rub (after I adjusted the brakes) and the gears needed serious adjustment -- they simply wouldn't work. And even after hours of work, they still don't work as good as my 10 year old bike.

I'm guessing that the Chinese factory that made it was overrun with orders and therefore skipped the whole quality testing/tuning step to get them on the boat.

Oh yeah, the manual is awful. Saved all the pages to publish in a bunch of languages and for every possible bike they make but has nothing useful for this bike.

Bottom line: spend the extra [...] to buy from a local dealer that will set the bike up right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best girl's 24" aluminum bike out there for $100.00!, July 4, 2009

I was pleased with this bike when it arrived. Assembly was not a problem. My biggest problem with this bike was the brakes. I found them very difficult to adjust which may be inexperience on my part. I am taking the bike to a local bike shop and having the brakes and levers upgraded to forte components(Performance Bike Brand) for $45.00 and $20.00 for installation and a check to see everything is setup and adjusted correctly. For a total of $165.00 with upgraded brakes and levers and the peace of mind everything works as it should, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE! The bike is lightweight and my daughter loves it!

The bike was shipped very quickly. Easy to assemble, just add front wheel, seat, and handle bars. Bike needed to have brakes adjusted and gears. Read the owners manual and go on You Tube to watch the videos of the adjustments. It makes the adjustments a breeze. Bike is nice and light.
