I would give this 5 stars but assembling was a pain, the instructions were limited so you basically had to figure it out yourself, so now im taking it to a bike shop. Overall this is an awesome bike, my boyfriend absolutely LOVES it!!

I bought this bike based on the reviews and was not disappointed. I was a little surprized to see that the wheels did not have quick release on them but it's not that big of a deal. The bike arrived in pretty good shape and few nic and scratches but nothing terrible. The bike goes together rather quickly, attach the pedal, handlebars and front tire, I did have to adjust the brakes to get the tires on. Overall I am satified with the bike.

As a disclaimer, I was never able to ride the bike I bought from amazon b/c it came to me damaged. I'm still writing this review though since most people who read these amazon reviews will buy from amazon, and it's important to know how it is shipped.
The box comes double-boxed, so no one knows what you bought. The bad news is that there is no "This Side Up" label on the outer box, like there is on the inner box, so the bike could hae gotten damaged by being put in a variety of positions--The outer box was not damaged. The bike was not properly padded for shipping. There were occasional thin pieces of cardboard taped around the frame, but these didn't prevent damage. The front is cable-tied to the frame of the bike by the forks. Everywhere that there wasn't cardboard on the frame, there were major scrapes. Where there was cardboard, there were minor scrapes and the stickers were bubbling. Because the front wheel was near the front forks, some spokes were slightly bent. Finally, after all of that, the chain was stuck between the chain wheel and frame, and could not be freed.
The instructions were difficult to understand--they are for generic bike assembly, and not specific to the bike. Putting together a bike (It as my first time) with just skimming the instructions is easy to do. There are also plenty of how-to's online with you tube videos if you need it.
The good thing is that amazon took the bike back (very easy to do), and I got a full refund 2 days after they received it. Think very hard before you buy a bike online, and be prepared to get a dud and have to get an exchange/refund.

This is the first bike I've purchased since I was a kid. I wanted to get something that wasn't an $80 Kmart bike but I also have no need for a high end bike in the neighborhood of $1000 either. This is well worth $180 in my opinion.
First of all, I received the bike very quickly. There was no cosmetic damage to the bike whatsoever and I was able to put it together in less than a half hour with very limited knowledge of bikes. The bike comes partially pre-assembled, you will just have to attach the front wheel, handlebars and peddles and make small adjustments to the brakes. You should only need a couple of allen wrenches and crescent wrench to put the bike together. One piece of advice, just make sure the handlebars are on as tight as possible, they got a little loose on my first ride because I didn't tighten them down enough.
I have only taken it on paved roads so far but it rides very smooth. So far I have done 2 10-mile bike rides and have seen nothing to complain about with the bike. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone who is looking for a good entry level bike at a good price.

We have not had a chance to ride these bikes, yet, but I was very aggravated when taking them out of the box for final assembly. I ordered & received 2 at the same time. They stayed in their boxes until Christmas Eve, when I assembled them around 2am. Both bikes have numerous scratches, deep nicks & 1 spot of extreme & deep scrapes (2 inches by 1 inch, & at the exact same spot on each bike). Many of these are down to bare metal. It appears that the factory assembly & packaging process does not handle the bikes delicately. They will have to supply me with 2 types of paint for me to keep these bikes - 1 for the 1st coat of glossy paint, 1 for the matte finish on top of the glossy coat.
Also, the decals on each bike were put on sloppily, each with many bubbles including some 1 to 2 inches long, making it impossible to simply press the bubbles out.
The bikes feel & look solid. We will be testing them over the next week. However, I expect the manufacturer to make good on supplies needed to repair all of the nicks & scrapes, for appearance & to prevent immediate rusting.
Final note: I also bought a girl's Mongoose at the same time (Mongoose Montana Women's Mountain Bike). It has similar but fewer issues. However, the bottom metal part of the handlebars that goes into the frame & expands to hold the handlebars in place is rusty & nicked up badly, looking used.
3 bikes ordered from Mongoose at the same time, all 3 with substantial enough cosmetic damages to want to return all 3 if the manufacturer does not step up to make things right. I have 10, 12 & 17 year old children who are excited & disappointed at the same time.
