1.0 out of 5 stars.  One tiny bicycle, July 29, 2009
By Mac (Detroit US)
This is described as a men's bicycle with no further size details other than the wheel size.
It turns out to be a very small bicycle. I'm 5ft9inch - about average for a US guy, and
found this bike too small to even ride down the drive.

I gave it away to a girl friend who is 5ft~ish and she found it about right. At the price it
wasn't really worth the pain of returning.

4.0 out of 5 stars.  Good, inexpensive bike, May 11, 2010
By Anthony L. Pagliuso (Boston, MA USA)
I'm not sure about the previous post, but I am 6'0" and 210 lbs. and the bike fits me fine. I adjusted the seat and handle bars and it's the right size. The bike came patially assembled and the instructions were clear. It only took me an hour to assemble, but four hours to fine tune and re-tighten everything, including the steering head bearing and pedal bearing. The brakes and rear derailer took a long time to adjust properly, but in the end the bike rides nice. For the money the bike seems to be built tough and it looks good. Only time will tell how it will hold up, but so far I am happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Tough, Rugged, Attractive, Sturdy, Steely, Competitor, July 13, 2010
By Blue Eyes (Phoenix, Arizona)
The Raptor Mantis, Men's, 26-Inch, Mountain Bike, Red/Black,with its Steel Frame, is tough and rugged,yet competitively light and fast. I paid a meager $73.00 on mine not expecting anything near the quality design, materials and workmanship I discovered. I had never put a bike together before, and this required assembly which included simple instructions, and despite my genius IQ I succedded in easily assembling it with the included few necessary tools.The Current price is double what I paid, but its well worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars.  Not bad at all, July 9, 2011
By J. Toso
I am happy with the bike. It is much lighter than a Roadmaster we have. Instructions are not the best but common sense is really all you need. Took about 45 min to put together and another 2 hours to get brakes, seat, gears and handle bars adjusted. Go to youtube for that stuff and it's easy to figure out. Gears don't change the smoothest and I'm sure they are aligned pretty good but they still work properly. Front wheel is a little close to the pedals compared to other bikes so your feet will rub the tire when taking sharp corners (I just go to the balls of my feet when turning now so it won't rub much). It seems well built. The box inside with the parts and the main box were a complete disaster when ups dropped it off. Looked like 4 dobermans went at it for an hour on the truck. I was worried a rim would be bent and some parts would be missing, but all was good.

1.0 out of 5 stars.  Piece of crap, April 7, 2012
By Fish
This is the worst piece of crap that I've ever seen. Shame on you Amazon. My feet touch the from wheel, it is super small and you know what I road it last night for the first time and the derailer went backwards and up into the spokes and tore both little sprockets to bits. I was going to take it to the bike man today but someone stole it last night from my carport. Ain't that a bitch but the bike isn't worth 20.00 bucks.
