Well-made machine constructed of quality materials. Does not have that "made in China" feel about it. All the parts, welds and fit are first rate. Assembled by myself in about an hour. Rides well. The single speed is geared perfectly for the flat land where I live. If you have any hills at all, I would defiantly buy the 7 speed model. Outstanding bargain at under $400. I did not put the fenders on because I will not be riding in the rain and I feel they will end up getting beat up and bent from normal use. Not because of poor quality but because of being in the garage with all the other garage activities. Great machine. You will have to adjust the center on the front brakes. I looked on YouTube for a tutorial.
