So far, so good.
I bought this bike about 8 months ago and have ridden it an average of 300 miles a month (so 2400 miles). I put the bike together and I maintain it myself . The instructions were not much help, but I have a kindle book that was. As were youtube videos - I highly recommend those! As another reviewer mentioned, the box did have a hole, but the bike was fine. All of the parts were in the box. If you order this bike, you will need allan wrenches and screwdrivers, as well as a wrench.

I have had very few problems with the bike. But one thing that did happen was as I was turning, the handlebar grip slid off, as did my hand. My body went with it, and as I landed on my shoulder and my face, it could have had disastrous results. Fortunately it didn't, but I was surprised at how flimsy that was.

Another thing that isn't listed anywhere on the packaging or instructions, is that this bike requires replacement tubes with LONG schrader valves. These are more difficult to find...

Nice bike. I think it's good value.
Overall: 3.5/5
Bike is pretty - wife loves the color. Rides well enough - switching gears could use some tuning, but that is probably to be expected - will do later, since it hits all the gears I need for now.

Packaging: 3/5
Bike was delivered in a box ~ 60" x 30" x 8". There was a hole through the box, but the bike itself was undamaged. Loose components were plastic tied together solidly and extra cardboard wrapping around various frame pieces to prevent chipping.

Assembly: 2/5
Never done this before - but managed w/ a call to Manufacturer.
Printed instructions were too generic - practically no value. Issues:
1 - handlebar stem didn't fit into head tube, due to head tube lip being a little "crushed" in
2 - one of the brake cables had disconnected from the hand-brake (other was fine).
3 - Description says Quick Release front wheel, but was delivered a bolt-on wheel.
4 - Right pedal screwed in clockwise, but left pedal...
low quality
The bike arrived and I assembled it myself. No instructions came, but ok - I figured out what went where. Not coming with assembly instructions is just an example on how much they care about consumers.

Anyway, I did not manage to tune the bike and the seat (height) did not adjust. Looked stuck. I thought it was me and took it to a specialist. First look, the guy refused: "I can't adjust this. Not this gear". I insisted and he said "ok, but I'll charge the 65 dollars even if the result is not good".

Following day, picked the bike at the store. Gear 3 (heaviest) worked, 2 did not, 1 did not. So I had a 7 speed bike instead of 21? No! Because on my right hand, only gears 5 and 6 worked. So I had a 2-speed bike.

A 2-speed bike whose seat does not adjust properly (because it's stuck).

Good: good tires, light weight frame, Amazon service when I returned the bike.
Bad: Engineering, overall combination of equipment, very noisy, can't use it as...
