Advantages: Cheap Disadvantages: Does not inspire confidence re: safety
I've had many problems with this bike. To start with the brake system is incredibly difficult to fit. After 3 different people attempted it (including a bike expert) I had to take it back to the shop who finally managed it.
Then the real problem: after just a year the back brake block sheared off while undergoing resetting. After buying new brake blocks and attempting to fit them the end of the brake cable just fell off, leaving the cable liable to fraying. No extraordinary pressure was put on these parts to cause these failures, it was just bare hands, a spanner and an Allen key.
My experience leaves me with the opinion that the parts on this bike are shoddy and could actually be dangerous. ...

Advantages: Very, very cheap Disadvantages: Not as tough as other bikes.
's bike, within a couple of months of use.
I contacted Universal, the manufacturer, for replacements which they sent free of charge. Of course there were the obligatory problems with the courier again and it took quite a while for them to turn up. I got these fitted in my local bike shop for £20 and I was away again. I am happy to report that six months later they are holding up well. Another thing is that the suspension is quite "bouncy", but I don't really find this a problem.
One other thing you should consider before buying this bike is that the gears are not really that great for cycling on the flat as they don't allow you to pedal really fast.
