Great price but falls apart.. If you want a cheap bike to just get you around every once and awhile this is a good bike. When Pacific Grays Peak Mens Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike comes you must assemble the front wheel, handle bars, pedals and seat, and pump up the bike tires. The assembly was fairly easy but the brakes on the bike and wheel alignment are very off. The tires are fairly crooked and the brakes are very difficult to adjust, even the bike shop couldn’t do it. The handle bar comes loose in two areas and I’m afraid one time I’ll pull the handle bar out when driving in the street. It’s not a bad bike to get you somewhere for cheap.

very poor breaks. I bought both the women’s and men’s models. The break pads refused to stop the bike even with professional adjustment. I replaced all the break pads with Shimano pads ($32.00), and lo and behold! the bikes now stop properly. The gears work fine, but the suspension on the forks is weak. If you can find a bike with Shimano parts, and a better “name brand” I would go for it…the Mongoose we bought at $99.00 is a much better bike without changing anything – it acutally works as it should.

It is what they say it is. No tricks. It arrived on time. It was almost put together except for the seat and handle bars. I am happy with it.
