Good bike for the price
Nice bike- mine took about a week and a half from the time I ordered it to arrive. Assembly is easy, but adjusting the brakes and shifters can take some time. Once adjusted, it works very well- it shifts smoothly, and rides fairly easily. My complaints are these:
1) Comes with cheesy pedals- I replaced them with these (9/16" threads): http://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Sound-Pedal-Black-Alloy/dp/B001C3GJ22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1284868963&sr=8-1
2) Brake levers are plastic, and the pivot point is a rivet, not a bolt. They feel a bit flimsy, but work fine.
3) The seat height is a bit low. I'm fairly average-sized (5'8"), and I have to raise the seat to the absolute maximum to be comfortabe.
4) The front wheel is ever so slightly warped- doesn't really affect anything, really.
Overall, a good bike for the price.

Dangerously cheap bike
I didn't have much money for the summer so I figured I'd buy this bike. What a poor decision. Both wheels are not at all true, so using it is already hard enough. The grips on the handlebars will also slide off halfway overnight, every night. And the worst thing is just this last week, when I was biking on the road to work, the right pedal just came clean off, stripped, and I nearly got run over by the passing cars. How does that even happen on a bike. I will never skimp on paying a more for a bike from now on. I have only had this bike for 2 weeks and it has not been treating me well at all.
would rather have spent a little more for a better bike.
ill admit that if you are low on funds, and just need any bike, then i guess you can consider this bike. but i wish i could go back and just spend 50 more on a better bike.
the main thing is that thing bike does not go very fast at all. on the smallest of downhills, my pedaling doesn't seem to do anything.
also, the shifters are placed on the handle bars, so while i am pedaling uphills, i sometimes change gears on accident unless if my hands are only halfway on the bars. its not like i have huge hands, so that aspect of the design was a real head scratcher for me.
all in all, i recommend for only the most price conscious shoppers. to everyone else, you're already spending 130, might as well spend a little more to make your entire purchase worth it and without regret.
