I got a mongoose paver for my bday at the end of June. Its a nice aluminum framed big tire bike with 700c wheels and 45 mm wide tires, sporting a 7 speed drivetrain, decent brakes, a rear rack, a water bottle cage and style, baby. The riding position is high and upright making for comfort on longer journeys with less fatigue on the lower back and shoulders. I agree with some of the posters that the assembly quality is not on par with a genuine bike shop bike, but my logic is this: the cycling industry has so many great aftermarket components available, I would rather pick and choose new items for my bike on a needed basis i.e. as things wear out or I see something really shiny for the bike that I cant live without. So far Ive only needed to do some minor adjustments to the brakes and shifter, nothing has broken. I did replace the handlebars with set of aluminum riser bars from the bike shop that have a more conventional feel, and a bigger seat. They make the bike even more fun to ride and look nice too. Overall, for around 130 bucks its a great deal.
