Opinions about FORGE bikes
Looking for an inexpensive starter bike for my teenager and happened upon the FORGE brand of bikes. They look like they have some decent components. Any feedback good or bad about this brand ?

Still kicking.
Extras: PRESTA VALVES, CATEYE REFLECTOR SET, WATER BOTTLE MOUNT, STORAGE RACK & FENDER MOUNTS CLEAR COAT PAINT FINISH AND OWNERS MANUAL.
Presta Valves as an extra, LUCKY!.
Looks ok for a starter bike.

They're $319.99 ordered online from Target.com Here's the link. The bike has some pretty decent components on it. From what I've read it gets shipped to your house and you put it together.

they are great bikes, i have one. They are older Giant Yukons. Well worth the money and they have great customer service! Swap out the forks though, Rockshox dart 1 are worthless!

The deal is still around...
It comes with good components for the money. Can't speak for others, but my friend's new Forge (shipped to him a week ago), came with the dérailleurs properly tuned. The fork sucks of course, my 140lb self bottoms it out off of small ledges.. Keep in mind, shipping and tax adds a fair amount, ~$380 total.
