Appease?

Walmart bikes worth their weight in scrap metal. I see no use in buying a bike that will give me constant problem.

Here's my story:

I assemble bikes for 3 walmarts, 2 targets, and 5 bike shops in my area.

I head to the bike shops in the morning, open two boxes, assemble and service the bikes. I deliver to the manager, he pays me cash and I go to the next shop.

Now I hit a walmart. Now here's my trick, I get paid for every bike I complete, money back if it's assembled wrong. So I do all the bike shops early in the morning so then I can most my day at the walmarts.

So I show up, about 6 bikes waiting for me. I open the first box, the wheels look like some abstract model. But it needs to go out on the floor. So I bend it and assemble the bike. Most of my time is spent making everything work. Even if they say they are the same parts, they never work properly and takes so much time to even make them manageable.

Then I test ride them. Bike shop bikes are great, and put a smile on my face. Walmart bikes scare the living sh** out of me. Even when I know all the parts are torques and lubed, they scare me.

I only work on the walmart bikes because most of my money comes from them, other then pre-season buying.

Mongoose are the more popular and higher priced walmart bikes.

I have assembled true mongooses and I have to say they are very nice bikes, not much value in them, but very nice bike still.

I would not buy a mongoose no matter where it was sold because of the resale factor.

But, I keep going, my father has a mongoose, about 10 years old and still moving. He bought it from walmart and everything works still. I don't understand the world sometimes....
