Excellent bike for the price!. We went all over town to buy a 20″ 6 speed bicycle for our 7 yr old daughter. Kmart was the only place that had one, but the one they had was the last one and the rear wheel was bent on it. They weren’t getting any more in for almost 3 weeks. [..]- Great, we’ll take one! It arrived yesterday and didn’t have a scratch on it. Took about 20 minutes to put Pacific Evolution Girls Bike all together and then another 10 minutes to adjust the seat height, handle bar height and angle, and then to adjust the brake levers. The derailer needed a little adjustment that took my wife and I about 30 minutes to accomplish. The book that came with the bike gave very good instructions on how to make all the adjustments and I learned something new, so it wasn’t all that bad. The bike looks very nice, shifts nice and is just nice all the way around for only [..]. I would recommend this bike to anyone!
Good value for the price. Don’t expect great finishing quality. The packaging being poor, even though ships Fedex, the product had parts (pedals) poking out of the package. The frame had scratches, and the handle was definitely not brand new with defective threading and old sticker / glue of some kind. The pedal’s threading was not smooth so expect to use WD-40 in a few areas. Due to this experience, if you can buy at a store for a good price, I would highly consider that.
Overall assembly is easy, but I wish the pre-assembled frame / rear tire and brakes did not need adjustments which would require opening them, as playing with brakes adjustment can be tricky.
This being ‘called’ a mountain bike, the tires threading ensure that this is not a smooth road bike. The minimum height of the bike from ground to the seat is approx 2 feet 6 inches, and the maximum height adds another 6 inches.
As always, the kid loves it regardless.
Great Bike for the price…. This little bike was a steal for the ptice. The packaging arrived in very good condition. the bike itself was very easy to put together. It took me about 20 minutes to get everything done.
The bike’s finish was flawless with no scratches. The best indicator was when my little girl rode it. The smile on her face is the final arbiter. I recommend this bike if your budget does not allow for the pricier biclycles around.
Bottom line: worth the investment.
