i just helped assemble some of
200 bikes bought from WalMart by a local church to be handed out to those who would not otherwise have transportation.
nightmarish experience, really.
junk does not begin to describe these things; every wheel was out-of-true, every hub bearing was overtightened (sans grease), and we had to pretty much disassemble/reassemble the drivetrain and brakes on every bike to get a moderate amount of function.
they should have bought cruisers. nobody needs gears around here.
