This is not a high end bike...this is a Huffy beach cruiser...no gears and only the simplest of mechanics. That is why I already love it. I've owned really nice bikes, high end bikes...taken them even year to the bike shop to get tuned, fretted over every scratch and dent...this is not a bike I'm going to worry about roughing up. It rides great, was fairly simple to assemble and it looks super cute...like a much more expensive bike. If you're looking to hit the mountain trails, this is not the bike for you, but if you want to ride down to the mailbox, around the neighborhood or around town over some reasonably flat surfaces, or in my case ride to our community beach, this will be a great well-equipted bike. It even came with a cup holder for my water bottle and a basket. I'm looking forward to a fun summer on my cute new bike! It arrived without a scratch in a large box via UPS - free shipping via Amazon Prime and took about an hour to assemble.
