(+) It's a decent bike if you're on a budget, but it's worth getting something nicer if you can afford to. I feel confident and comfortable on the bicycle, and it rides very firm and nice. Aside from the shifter and derailer, all parts are good quality. I find it a little strange to only have one disc brake, but it seems to be working normally. Only on very sharp turns do I hear any rubbing, so I am satisfied.(-) Shifting on this bicycle is not a smooth process, and it feels cheap. It is mostly fine in the high and low gears, but it makes lots of sound in the middle gears which are used the most and sometimes fails to shift properly.(Assembly) It took me a couple hours to get everything assembled due to the very confusing instructions. I mostly just quit reading them and assembled it myself after this step, and I didn't run into any issues. It's a pretty standard bike assembly, but it might be difficult to figure things out for beginners due to the confusing instructions.THANKS FOR READINGTLDR: Decent value for beginners and good quality aside from the shifter and derailer. Easy assembly despite poor instructions.
