This bike weighs a ton (it feels like the frame is made out of cast iron) and it doesn't have components better than mountain bikes found in wal-mart for $100 or less. Example: hand grips are made out of hard plastic when they should have been soft rubber.

I bought this bike for my girlfriend for Xmas. She has just started riding mountain bikes and I wanted to get her a bike that could some intermediate trails. Assembly was very easy and the bike did not need to much adjustment. I wish the back brakes were disc like the front, but oh well. The bike delivers good performance for its lower cost. The bike had a small scrape on frame from shipping and back reflector was destroyed. Everything else was OK.

This is a good bike but the gear changing device on the handel bars are made from plastic and break easy. The people who work for Bike USA are rude to customers after the purchase, and will not return E-Mail or call you as promised on their web site. I have tried to contact them several times to find parts for the above mentioned device and have yet to hear back from them. I do not reccomend purchasing a bike from Bike USA. My advice is find another sorce to buy your bike from.
