Just purchased one of these bikes. For the price you pay cannot argue with the overall quality. Some fidly parts to put together but overall can be done. Suggest strongly though that you get someone to help who has been around bikes for a long time. Hardest part was fitting the front brakes. I put on wrong way round and did not fully understand how the metal clasp worked. Friend came round and noticed my mistake straight away and fixed the problem in seconds. I have taken this bike out on road and could not fault it. Personally I am happy with it as a starter bike.
