The price is excellent. What I wanted was something for my 8 year old to get used to the idea of shifting and being able to climb those steeper hills. The good news is my son loves it. Here are some problems to look out for.
It is not shipped well. It comes in an unprotected box and arrived at my house all beat up and was missing a small plastic plug that fits in the top of the front suspension. The box had holes in it, so no telling where that ended up, anyway it could’ve been much worse. The rear derailleur was slightly bent during shipping. The brakes needed adjusting and a good bit of assemply was required. You need to be a bit of a handyman to put it together.
Also, for shorter riders (like my son) the top cross bar is too high and you can’t adjust the seat enough.
I went down to the new ‘Dicks’ sporting goods store to check out their bikes after I bought this off amazon. ‘Dicks’ had a Diamondback with these features (minus the dual suspension which really isn’t needed for a kid) for $169.00 and it was much, much better quality. I was really kicking myself for not spending the extra money, because it was much safer bike to. My son had a pretty bad wreck because the brakes failed coming down a hill (he was fine, but it scared me and twisted alot of the bike up), this was mostly due to my poor brake adjustment and he was new to handle bar brakes. Anyway, that diamondback is also much better to adjust for different heights and is especially good for shorter 8 year olds. Plus that diamondback had excellent shimano components for durability etc.
Well, if you really can only spend $100, this is a good bike, but for the extra $70, you can get an awesome bike that will last for many years.

I ordered this bike and received a 20″ bike…. not once but twice! Had to send both back and finally had to get a refund. Sure wanted that bike but bought another.

The Furmenator works as advertised. We use it daily on my Collie Dog and we end up with a lot less fur laying around the house.

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!
