So far so good. I bought this for my 16 yr old son He is a big guy 6 ft 250 pds and I was worried it would be too small as it said medium frame. But it fits him perfectly and not small at all. he put it together quickly and easily. Really only had to attach front
wheel ,handle bars ,seat and pedals - pretty much already assembled . He was out with friends riding in the state park within 30 minutes of putting it together And he was riding it for more than four hours and said it handles well Only issue he had (which I saw from other reviews also ) was he has a sore butt ! I recommend either changing the seat or getting a gel pad cover for it ! Only day one But so far so good seems sturdy and supports a big guy
