Ok, first some assembly is required and MUCH adjustment. Check out the front derailleur alignment. Absolutely zero fs were given at the factory. Parts are cheap and its kinda heavy. The front shifter (revoshift) is not indexed (no numbers) so it will shift the front gears somewhere between click one and click twelve. Rear derailleur seems ok though. Worked the first time through the cassette anyway. No long rides on it yet so not sure what I think of the saddle. Handlebars are very narrow. You will be adjusting this thing! Oh also they dont crimp the cable ends well at all. Go at them with some locking pliers immediately so you dont struggle getting them back on like I did when I accidentally pulled a few off. Worth the money? Meh. Itll do I guess.
Its not garbage. But its not great.
