Good, inexpensive bike
By Anthony L. Pagliuso
I'm not sure about the previous post, but I am 6'0" and 210 lbs. and the bike fits me fine. I adjusted the seat and handle bars and it's the right size. The bike came patially assembled and the instructions were clear. It only took me an hour to assemble, but four hours to fine tune and re-tighten everything, including the steering head bearing and pedal bearing. The brakes and rear derailer took a long time to adjust properly, but in the end the bike rides nice. For the money the bike seems to be built tough and it looks good. Only time will tell how it will hold up, but so far I am happy with it.

Tough, Rugged, Attractive, Sturdy, Steely, Competitor
By Stephen Anthony Flynn
The Raptor Mantis, Men's, 26-Inch, Mountain Bike, Red/Black,with its Steel Frame, is tough and rugged,yet competitively light and fast. I paid a meager $73.00 on mine not expecting anything near the quality design, materials and workmanship I discovered. I had never put a bike together before, and this required assembly which included simple instructions, and despite my genius IQ I succedded in easily assembling it with the included few necessary tools.The Current price is double what I paid, but its well worth it.

One tiny bicycle
By A. Platts
This is described as a men's bicycle with no further size details other than the wheel size.
It turns out to be a very small bicycle. I'm 5ft9inch - about average for a US guy, and
found this bike too small to even ride down the drive.

I gave it away to a girl friend who is 5ft~ish and she found it about right. At the price it
wasn't really worth the pain of returning.
