Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is not the bike I would have chosen for my son but he absolutely loves it! He saw this model on Amazon and instantly said he would prefer it over the bulky 10-speed mountains or squat BMX bikes I was looking at. Apparently, 'freestyle' is in with all the hip 10-year-olds. Well, we wern't disappointed. The bike arrived quickly (thanks to Amazon.com's super-sneaky shipping elves) and was very easy to put together. I haven't noticed any defects in workmanship or the quality of the product. My son has been riding hard now for over a month now and the bike is going strong. I will try to update this in about a year whenever we reach the 30,000 mile mark :-) Just wanted to give a brief update now we have reached the one year mark. My son puts this poor bike through a lot of abuse, leaving it outside in the elements for days at a time and letting it drop to the ground if he is in too much of a hurry to engage the kickstand (don't ask me what kind of responsibility a 12 year old could have that he's in that much of a hurry, I can't figure it out myself. Anyway, the poor bike suffers through all of this maltreatment with no signs of wearing out. All pieces and parts are still intact, no rust that I can see, and the breaks still work correctly without any necessary adjustment. Can't ask for any better than that!
