A professional tune-up transformed this bike into a safe and smooth ride. The Tirage appears to be the same bike as the Pacific Render. Pacific makes bikes for Mongoose, Schwinn, etc. It is substantially lighter than the steel alloy frame Mongoose Rockadile(5 star rating) with a different crankset, brakes and derailleurs. My bike was stolen after three months, so I can not testify to component durability. The light weight aluminum frame is a big plus for the Tirage. I just ordered a replacement Mongoose Tirage bike. Correct assembly is critical.

After assembly I had to have the bike tuned by a professional. It was badly out of adjustment. The seat had to be replaced. Very hard and uncomfortable. The bike is very light and easy to handle. Now that everything is adjusted, it is pleasant to ride. I would rate it a 5, except having to spend more money than was expected. If you are more familiar with making major adjustments than I am....you might not have to go the extra expense. I would plan on buying a seat if you are going to spend any time on the bike.

Sometimes you read a website description, get real excited that your getting a deal, and when the goods arrive you swear you will never do that again. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH AMAZON. I got exactly what i expected from the product. A nice large (6'2") bike brand new in perfect conditon in a timly manner. Cheers Amazon

I bought this bike 3 months ago, rode it hard (traffic, potholes, 10 miles a day, I weigh about 190) and now the rear wheel is shot (the internal ball bearings got loose and now it's unsalvageable.) Good deal for the money, but you get what you pay for ...

Delivery was prompt and within one week.
Putting it togethjer took 15 minutes.
Best bike I've had sofar !

This is a junk department store bike. IT IS NOT A REAL MONGOOSE! This is a HUFFY w/the Mongoose Name! (Huffy baught out Mongoose! I didn't know this when I purchased it, and I was a fool to trust the Mongoose name) You can go to K-Mart or Target and purchase the same thing for $79.95!

The bike seems very loose. The brakes are hard to adjust. I do not like the way you have to change speeds
