This bike Vs. Takara Kabuto: I had already ordered this bike but I soon after found another good looking prospect in this bike, I was wondering should I stick with this bike, and after and upgrade of the parts would this bike be as good or better than...

I would suggest staying with this bike. I've got it and it has decent parts for the price. You're going to want to upgrade saddle and tires on any bike in this price range. The frame on this bike is quite good, nice clean welds, good dropouts.

What a great loaded question for me to answer! I like the kazam bike, if you want the scooter style foot board it's a decent buy. Our bikes are built to ride like bicycles, they look like bicycles! The quality on our bike is second to none, you would need to spend close to $200 to find anything that compares to our bike when it comes to finish and parts.

Its discontinued? Oh man! I need back wheels my front is fine. I am same boat as you. If I would have known I never would have purchased and its such a shame cause its a great ride my kids love it. If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?

You will need to contact Amazon directly to have them send you a new bike. In the meantime, I would suggest to box up what you've got.

Hi, This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps!

Do not buy this bike, it is heavy and not even a good entry level bike....I've done Ironman before and ride alot. My wife bought one and after the first club ride we ended up having to go get her another bike it was so heavy and slow. Be better off getting a entry level from your local bike shop. If you are trying to go the cheapest way, you can go to Academy and get a Schwinn road bike that is around $250 and will work, but not best.

This is pretty ironic I bought this bike rack first then noticed this question and purchased the IBERA 5. Recieved this one first and tried it on my disk brake bike. It fit perfect. I mean PERFECT. So the real question is do you wanna try it.

BTW, we'd highly recommend getting the Stealth PBO wheels vs the Stealth SS. The PBO spokes are incredibly strong and also absorb vibration like few others. They make the bike much smoother over rough surfaces.

It's definitely worth it. Anything you would like to upgrade is personal preference like handlebars and the saddle. But it'll ride great as is.

It is pretty much put together except for the replacement starter part you sent us which by the way, thank you and appreciate it. It has been cold and freezing out so we are to wait until its nice out. Thank you for good service and I am sure that when it's time for upgrade. I will order the bigger bike from your store. My son had his mind on which bike to get for next one. Thank you again!

I'm not sure... I just got rid of my Trikke (couldn't sell it - actually gave it away). You really should test one first, if possible, to see if you like it. They're REALLY hard to ride. I didn't enjoy it. But, that's me. Good luck.

Just finished putting the bike together and am having the same problem. The seat is ridiculously loose, it rotates around and flexes up and down as I'm riding. It almost seems like it's intentionally built this way. Have either of you been able to fix this problem since you posted? Or are you just dealing with it? Thanks

My back wheel broke also. I have a feeling they are just really low quality. I contacted Amazon, they told me to contact the manufacturer. I tried that, but their website is broken. So, I contacted Amazon again and they sent me a whole new bike and a return sticker for the old one. This was even though it was past the time for returns. I would recommend contacting Amazon. They seem to be really good about this sort of thing.

I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin. I replaced the factory tire's after 1 month of normal use, I strongly suggest you do the same. I brought my bike down to the bike shop after I started to lose traction and the mechanic told me I was the the 4th person to replace the tires he has serviced with this model bike. it cost me $75 but it was well worth it. I have been riding 25 years and have never owned such a great bike. I wish Jeep would get it together and do something about the bike's cheap tires. If you have not bought this bike yet, DO!. Then replace the tires ASAP. Had my bike 5 years and am buying a new one this spring same model Good Luck. I love everything about this bike, with one exception. The tire's are flimsy and thin.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.
