Good bike for the price. Fits description.
Where the heck did they make this?, March 25, 2009

I don't see well and even I, can see the huge carppy looking weld marks. I rode it and the gears have no smoothness AT ALL, clunk, clunk. I would return it except for the time it took to put together, the time it would take to take apart, put back in the box then return, and double that with my daughter "loves" the color. The bike sucks, it is not put together well in any way. The only reason I didn't go through the hassle of returning, even with all that is above, is my daughter is growing (rapidly) and I suspect we won't keep this very long anyway. (and we work, I don't have time to assemble and unassemble and return and all that carp, I don't even have enough time for homework, which I'm guessing they are relying on) I usually trust reviews and this didn't have any, but it looked decent, my husband thought it looked good for a bike and my daughter liked the color (I know I'm repeating myself, but I can't believe we bought this thing).
