Unlike other reviewers we found this a bit fiddly to put together and it needed a bit of thought. It probably took two days to tweak the breaks and (especially) the gears, and the front break still isn't great, although that could be a good thing if you dont want to go over the handlebars!
For the price it is well worth it. Although due to the slightly heavier weight than average it is only suitable for short rides to the park etc rather than the daily commute.
Also things you may want to consider purchasing while you order the bike:
a. new saddle - it is not an amazing pleasant ride even if you have a tiny thin bottom!
b. kick stand.
c. mud guards
