This is a pretty solid bike for the price. At 6' 00" with 32.5" inseam, this bike is the right size. However, if you are shorter than 5' 11", you may want to consider the medium size (even though Diamondback size chart says 5' 10" is ok) as this bike runs a bit large. It DOES NOT include the assembly tools (confirmed!!). Assembly was pretty easy, but you can't go by the absolutely useless instruction book (look to their website for guidance instead). Most of the bike was already assembled. After 1 hour basic assembly, I had brake noise on rear brake/rotor and noise from chain rubbing against the front derailleur. Knowing absolutely nothing about bikes, it took several youtube videos and another 3 hour to fine tune it. This included adjusting rear brake pad position, rear brake cable tension, and bending the rear rotor just a bit. On the front derailleur, I adjusted tension as well as the high and low limit on front derailleur. They seemed pretty difficult at first, but once you get through it, it will be much easier if you need to do it again. I then made sure that everything was tight and secure, in case someone at the factory was incompetent. Now it shifts very quickly, smoothly and quietly. The brakes stop effectively with no noise at all.

I bought this product with the intention that it would be great to cocktail it with a slightly heavier product to get a fuller bouncier look with extreme definition for my curls without stickiness. I have fine to medium (in some parts) thick hair, and although it isn't thick yet healthy, it needs slightly heavier weighted products to define my 3C/4A curl pattern, low to medium porosity. So to my surprise, I used this on my hair just to see how it would work-albeit by itself just to see its limits. I honestly thought that this watery, kinda-custardy, sorta gel-ish product would just not do anything but give me a moisturized undefined 'fro. I was WRONG. I used this product kinda laughingly because I was thinking of having to salvage my curls after the results were shown. I did 6 big twists that were saturated with this product on 3rd day hair that had been lightly rinsed from previous product. I got under a bonnet dryer for 20 minutes, went to bed. In the morning, my twists from the outside look unmemorable, but when I started untwisting, I was floored. Soft, fluffy, well defined curls. Smells great as well. Amazing! Worth the price for the results! Get this at Family Dollar, or other similar retailers for $5-$6 dollars. Would have given it 5 stars but it didn't elongate, but hey, with it meeting the other criteria, it's a winner. I guess you can stretch it yourself.
