Seen them on amazon.com. Never heard anythign good about them, alot of the user reviews said to expect cheap chinese made stuff... When I looked, the shipping made it outrageous. I'd look here.
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/The-Bike-Gu ... m14&_pgn=1 Same stuff different seller. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/greenline_bicycles_outlet more selection than xyz.com, cooler styles, free shipping, but they are still chinese... So expect that kind of quality.

hi
my friend bought one, it's really bad, fedex almost destroyed the bike, shipping was $70 to canada, making the price not worth it, the tires in the pictures are not the same ones that come on the bike, black tires instead of white walls, um frame comes scratched, paint is mismatched top bar was different shade then rest of bike, everything that is not metal is plastic, made in china super low quality, walmart bikes are better, the wheels come wobbly everything is loose and not safe, no quality control,one of the worst build bikes i've ever seen, my friend complained about shipping damage, wrong color tires etc, just got the run around, no customer service, you really can't expect much for such a cheap bike, but not even worth it for the parts.The pictures are misleading.

I got one last year...the stretch...and as has been said you get what you pay for....and I went to the warehouse and picked it up there to save on shipping.

After replacing wheels/tires/seat/fenders, and reworking the front springer, it's not too bad a ride.

And for me it was a cheap way to get back into the hobby....

Pretty cheap way to get a made stretch or chopper frame. K-Mart/Walmart stores are probably better for everything else...no shipping and you can look at the one you're getting.

Just to add my 2 pence worth - my partner and I both own bikes from XYZ and really rate them. We paid about $120 a bike from memory and had them shipped to the UK a year or so ago. Even in our relatively harsh climate they've held up well. The chrome has some very light surface rust but other than that they've been maintenance free and great fun to ride. No issues at all with scratching despite being couriered nearly 9,000km. I shalln't lie - the quality isn't as good as my Nirve Switchblade but I certainly wouldn't call it poor quality. Also, their customer service was excellent for us - all questions answered in a matter of minutes via e-mail.
