  Adding a review post 1 year of ownership. Mediocre quality. My daughter has been riding the bike to school and back for about a year. The headset (where the handlebar connects) requires re-tightening every few months. The brakes are a weak spot on this bicycle, they are finicky to adjust and need readjustment every month. The shifting system works as you'd expect for a $200 bicycle, clicks into gear but is not smooth. We haven't experience any of the chain issues some others have mentioned. Lastly, I'm disappointed in the quality of the bolts/nuts used on the bike, the frame itself and most of the components seem to be of decent quality, but the bolts had surface rust after the first winter (and we live in california so we rarely even have rain, just typical morning dew).
