With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.

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...

great bike for a kid
My daughter loves this bike except for the seat. We had to get her a new seat because the seat that comes with it is hard as a rock and uncomfortable.

Nice Bike for the Price
This is the first bike I've owned in over 15 years. It arrived nicely packaged and undamaged. Assembly was simple. The only thing I had some trouble with was adjusting the derailleur since I've never had experience with it before. But eventually got it adjusted well enough.

The bike is very attractive and is fairly lightweight. I purchased it for $100 less than what the local sports stores were selling them at. That was an added bonus. Very happy with the deal. I'm only 5'0" tall, so I ordered the XS (13") and it fits perfectly.

It rides fine. Very smooth on pavement. Shifting is nice as well. The seat was somewhat uncomfortable. I would be sore for days after a 40 minute ride on dirt or pavement. I bought a gel seat cover for it and it's much better now. No more soreness.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!
This bike is absolutely AWESOME! It is so comfortable to ride and looks great! I love it! Bike was fairly easy to assemble in a short amount of time however since I was immediately taking it on a 26 mile trail ride I took it to my local bike shop (REI) and paid to have it completely looked over and assembled correctly. Bike shop told me back tire was put on backwards from shipper. I have no complains about this bike what so ever. I have put a little over 100 miles on it in my first week both on road and trails. Great for both. Best bike I ever owned! I can't wait to leave work everyday and get home to get out on it!
AWESOME! GET IT
This bike was better then what I imagined, I absolutely love it! I definitely recommend this bike. Very easy to build, Im glad I made this purchase.
