One of the major drawbacks is that you're either going to have to know how to assemble the bike, and have the tools to do so, or you're going to have to bring the un-assembled bike to your local bike shop and pay them to assemble it for you - which pretty much negates the cost savings.

Good deals. I bought one bike from there for my son, and would not hesitate to buy another for him or myself. Helps to have some experience working on bikes as some minor assembly and adjustment is required. If you have no experience and aren't mechanically inclined, it would be best to pay a shop the $25-50 for setup, adjustments and safety check.

Seriously, search this forum. In two seconds you will find tons of BD threads. They are great bikes if they fit and you know how to set them up. We have covered this so many times now.....
