You get what you pay for

My husband and I purchased Huffy Alpine bikes last night. We went into this knowing that you dont get the best quality for $99. The bike weighs almost 45 lbs and you can certainly feel the weight when climbing hills. Today we took off for our first ride and my seat clamp broke causing the seat to fall off. I took the clamp back to Academy Sports and they replaced it. Then I took off for try number two. The gears on the first chain wheel worked fine but when I went to the second and third chain wheels the gears slipped and I could not get them to work. My husbands bike is the same way. Both bikes need to be tuned up at a professional bike shop and then they should be fine. The Alpine would probably make an okay bike after getting tuned up but that cost between $50 and $80. You can buy a $200 bike of much better quality that will probably come with a free tune up.

cheap is what youll get

i received this bike about a month ago, the box was it came in was full of holes and once i opened the box there where missing parts, the bike quality is horrible besides the frame and the handles, but from far it looks good, and the seat, oh my oh my the seat is feels like if sitting in a tube but the good thing is that amazon gave me a 24 dollars rembursement for the missing parts so i could take it to the repair shop , and they offered me to return it but who likes to return stuff anyway? so y sent it to the repair shop with the money they gave me and it wasnt enough to fix everithing that was wrong and besides that i had to buy a new seat for it because the stock one came out of a chinese torture chamber so i had to replace it as well. after all it was a very regreatfull purchase the good thing was that i didnt paid more than 150 total to have a bike set up, thanks to the money amazong gave me back for all the trouble so after a month and 3 weeks of pain im happy with my purchase, no but seriously amazon rocked on this one.

Good looking, poor quality

This is a very good-looking bike, but it is essentially a cheap machine. The gears keep shifting by themselves (even after manually-graduating several times) and the tires need to be pumped everyday before riding the bike. However, this is a good choice if you are looking for a cheap bicycle that will take you around the city.
