Had a shock when I went to my LBS as they were assembling kids bikes for christmas. What I would term Wallymart quality bikes at that. EXCEPT- these were a bit different. No Suspension- and Shimano Tourney groupset.

The bikes looked great and the mechanic was pleased with the assembly. Brakes and gears dialled in Quick- Nothing out of alignment and wheels true enough to only need a couple of tweeks. Usual things to change like brake and gear cables to stainless steel. Usual things to check and lube like wheel bearings and brake pivots.

So these bikes have been checked and assembled by a professional- will be a cheap bike for someone for christmas and will not be falling apart on Boxing day. Bit different to a Wallymart bike.
