Pacific Cavern Mountain Bike

My grandson loves his new bike. He is eleven and fits him perfect. It was going to be a Christmas present but he ended up getting it for his birthday in October so he could ride it before winter hit. He's out every day riding his bike. Love the colors too.

There aren't many girl's bikes with shifters at this size. It's well built. It took me a while to get it put together and adjusted (three hours or so) but once finished it shifts very well and the brakes work well.Only issues are that it's heavy, and hard to shift. The weight would be mitigated by the shifters except our daughter can't shift it down to go uphill, so we have to shift it for her. There's really no way to fix this without changing shifters which I'm not about to do. So my daughter is working on her hand strength and can shift down to 2 or 3 usually. She's 6 years old. This bike is the absolute max size she can safely ride so it should last for years to come. The heavy weight is because it's all steel build, which is why the price point is so good. I don't mind a steel bike but you do need to take care to lubricate and protect it a bit or rust will become an issue with time. Other than that I don't think you'll find a better value shifter bike at this size, especially for girls.

Prepare to pay more to readjust gears and brakes. Had difficulties changing gears from M(edium) to L(ow) and from 2 to 1.Since the twist shifter is on the grips. You inadvertently change gears every 3 seconds. Poor design.Bottom bracket protector is made of of plastic. It broke off on the first ride.The frame is still intact. So, 3 stars.

This is a nice simple bike at a great price. However the box came damaged and upon assembly, realized that one nut for the front wheel was missing. I immediately contacted the seller and informed that the washer and nut for the front axle were missing. They responded quickly and emailed me only the washer. So I had to contact them again and clarify that they forgot to send the nut. They immediately sent the nut. However I lost 2 weeks in getting these parts.Talking about the quality of the bike, the front brake adjustment took some effort and watching YouTube videos to figure out. It is not pre-tuned as they claim. some of the parts such as the stand, the pedal foot rests are not well greased and are a bit stiff. The instructions manual takes a little bit of reading and re-reading.Overall I will say if you are handy and patient, this is a decent bike and a decent seller and overall a good value for the price.

This was my granddaughter's birthday gift and she loved it, it was the perfect size and color.
