Cranks bent (im 15, 115lbs, no big guy) no grip on pedals, wore don the pins, seat ripped in the front, black rims were a no, chrome would be better, headset cracked within maybe 10 - 20 cases,

    Bottom Line:ITs a great bike for youngens that need a strong mother but dont want to spend money. In the future you will need to upgrade to better parts, ie: cranks, pedals, stem.... But other than thats its a sweet bike that is worth the dollar.
