The kids bike market in central Europe is a little nutso. Mountain bikes are popular, perhaps owing to the Alps (that was meant to be ironic), but I don't know too many 6-9 year olds that need 21 gears, front and rear shocks, crazy frame designs... or a bike they'll outgrow fast with a price starting around 250 euros (over $300 US). Even though the Toys R Us (in Innsbruck) had bikes that were not priced as affordably as in the US, I felt we did okay.

I'm handy, so assembling the handlebars, hanging the pedals, setting the seat post was a 15 min job. The tools were included. Also, it gave me a chance to check it over. The rear brake restricted wheel travel, as it was set too tight, a fairly easy fix since they were just like the brakes on my own BMX bike back in the day. Simple and sturdy, can't speak to the longevity of the bike or the components, yet. But I feel a check-up every 6 months or so, which should be expected, will keep it rolling for 5 years, easy.

I purchase this bike for my 8 year old grandson and it made him very happy. It is a sturdy bike that I am sure will go through many a child as the years go on.

Got this bike for my son who is starting to like riding bikes. The price is just right but I expected the components to at least be on par with it's great looks. First the rear brake has got that shoddy feeling, it feels cheap. The rear V brake I found out that it actually is impeding the free wheeling of the bike, in short, it is clamping on the wheel without the levers being pressed. Tried to adjust it but all my efforts went for naught. Will buy a better brake I think to remedy this problem. Apart from the rear brake, the bike looks good...as you get a cheap bike, so are the parts.
On a good note though, the crew at Hayward, CA store were magnificent.

Bike arrived with integral missing part. Took receipt and bike installation instuctions and said handlbar stem was missing. Person in charge not in. Left message. Was called back and told indiv had orderd a number of these parts. WHY? Is everyone who buys this bike screwed out of major part. Said would call when part arrived. Still have heard nothing. VERY POOR. Never again.

I remember my first Schwinn BMX bike was $109 back in 1980. Nearly gave my dad a heart attack. Now this bike, over 30 years later, at first glance less than $90 was a great deal. Well, when I started to assemble it, I found some flaws. First, the chain guard needed some adjustment to prevent it from hitting the pedal. Then I had to straighten the forks(spread them about 14mm). Once I installed the brake cables and tested them, they didn't stop all that great. Kinda frightening on a busy street. Maybe they need to be seasoned?

I plan to install a braking hub for the rear since my son isn't into freestyle at the moment. Plus he's into skidding the rear wheels more still.
