The bike looks very good, however the gears cannot be changed due to the amount of bends in the gear lever cable,i have had to pay a bike specialist to re-design the gear lever cable to give it a shorter route without as many bends.What happens when you change gear is that the cable inside the plastic housing is pulled ,the more bends between the handle and the gear cog the more tension is caused .The bike was only allowed to select 1 gear when put together.The cost for this job is approx £25.Other than the above my son loves his new bike.
