I have a Mongoose from walmart, I bought it 3 years ago and have riden it about 3 times, it's still holding up...lol
Mich, Dan knows his bikes. To put it into prospective, would you buy a RC at Walmart? even if you only going to bash once a week? NO! it's a waste of money. If you want a Mongoose from walmart, come buy mine for $100.
Huffy bought Schwinn and Mongoose about 4-5 years ago, they are not Schwinns and Mongooses anymore, they are huffy's.
Dan keeps bringing up quality because he seriously rides these things the way they were meant to be riden. If he was to ride a Walmart bike "seriously" it would fold in half. I'm talking trail riding and big jumps.
If you are merely riding the bike around the neighborhood or to work, you should be fine with a cheap bike.
Like I said, mine is $100 and riden 3 times if you want a Mongoose from Walmart. Come and get it!
