Here is a mongoose that looks like it has some nice specs

is this any better?
indeed they are generally well made, but, cheap components are still cheap components no matter how well they are put together.

the main thing that annoys me on the fire mountain is that its fitted with a screw on freewheel and only uses acera/alivio derailleurs, at this price point i really think thats poor from such a big brand name.
