Great bike for the money
I bought this bike for my son. I am an extremely experienced cyclist and bike mechanic, so the challenges I overcame with this weren't too serious for me. For example, the bike I received was missing a front axle nut. I replaced the entire axle with a hollow one and a quick release but you could imagine that kind of thing being a pain for a normal person. Some details weren't to my liking and I fixed them. I sawed off a bit off the seat post and a bit off the handlebar ends. This allows the seat post to be set as low as possible for my little rider. I'm no absurd hipster with the handlebar cutting, but having sensible shoulder width bars is always good and these were the normal too-big-for-an-adult mountain bike width. Definitely not ideal for a kid. The wheels were pretty true, but I still felt it necessary to true them up. One of the cable housing routings was about 20% too long and I cut that to the right size.

Pacific Exploit Boy's Mountain Bike
This is a good bike and my 8 year old really likes it. However in hind sight I should have purchased from my local bike shop. Since I am not a bike mechanic and have no interest in becoming one, the money saved by ordering via Amazon was lost in getting the bike 'into production'. First, the bike arrived quickly and was hidden in the garage for assemble on Christmas Eve. That is the first flaw in my plan. Upon opening the box on Christmas Eve I found to my horror that it was missing one of the 'nuts' that holds the front wheel to the spokes. It was definetly not in the place, as the other three bolts were and a through search of the box (ripping it to shreds) did not render the missing bolt.

The instructions were extrremly generic applying to many many different makes and models of bikes and was useless in trying to help me assemble. So, unless you can assemble a bike without any useful instructions and have a shop full of extra bolts, I would avoid this...
