Bike came, double boxed, very well protected. I was amazed how easily it went together. All the major parts (brakes, shifter, etc) were mounted and pre-adjusted.

The kickstand is aluminum with a nice hard plastic 'foot' on the end. It is more than adequate for supporting the bike and much nicer than some of the black steel ones like you see on Diamondback or Mongoose.

No regrets here!

This is a well packaged and quality manufactured bicycle. I am very handy with tools and mechanically inclined. That being said, the assembly instructions are wholly inadequate and most of the assembly has to be figured out by reverse engineering the final product from pictures. That being said, it took me about 90 minutes to assemble the bike. What I learned in the process would now result in an assembly time of about 30 minutes if I had to do another one.

If you are not mechanically inclined (and I mean it, not just able to use tools, but understand the design of mechanical things) then pay $50-$70 to your local bike shop to assemble this bike. They will asemble the bike, tune the wheel balance and insure the brakes, seat and handlebars are properly adjusted. You will need to do this regardles, so if you can't do those things, don't try and put this together yourself.

All in all, though it is a good sturdy and reliable bike. My 12 year old rides it fast and hard and it stands up to the rough treatment.

just put the bike together last night. Will say I had trouble with handle bar, but the rest went together fairly easy. It was packaged very well. The bike looks awesome. Very clean, none of those crazy kid graphics. I think my 9 yr old will love it come Christmas morning. Not sure on performance since I'm too big to ride it. would recommend for a beginners mountain bike.

Such a well built bicycle at this price is a steal. Thank you to Schwinn and Amazon for putting together such a good deal. My 12 year old son read the directions aloud and assembled the bicycle in about an hour (with me checking for proper torque). All of the important assembly is done at the factory: wheel truing, headset adjustment, hub adjustment, crankset setup.

Required tools: 5mm Allen, 6mm Allen, metric socket or wrench set, medium phillips, adjustable wrench.

Easy! Saved $100! Love it!

Bought this bike for my 11 year old son who rides casually and so far it has been great. The bike was packaged and delivered well. None of the parts were damaged and the bike was easy to put together.
