Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a smooth-riding front-suspension fork, the Mongoose Montana men's mountain bike is a great choice for both trail and street riding. The bike includes such features as a full alloy MTB frame that holds up durably to rough handling, along with MTB riser bars and a quill stem. The 21-speed SRAM MRX shifters and Shimano rear derailleur, meanwhile, provide plenty of control whether you're on flat or hilly terrain. Finally, the bike's alloy black rims and extra-wide 1.95-inch tires roll smoothly over pavement, grass, or dirt. Other features include alloy linear pull brakes and levers, an adjustable quick-release seat, a three-piece ATB crank, 26-inch wheels, and a rust-resistant powder coating. The Montana carries a one-year warranty.

I wanted a bike to ride a few miles a week on. Nothing special. First problem was the derailer was not adjusted, and brakes didn't work. I took it to a bike shop, and the mechanic there later told me the problem with the brakes was that both rims were out of true. He trued them as much as he could, but they still were not true. A few mos. later, the rear tire was worn (lousy tires--I don't do much riding), so I took it back to get a new tire put on, and bought a new wheel at the same time: $40 for the wheel, which is round and true. A few mos. later I started hearing a clicking sound in the pedal assembly (bottom bracket). I took it back to the bike store and learned the bearings were shot. I had the bottom bracket replaced for $60.00. I have almost spent as much replacing things as I spent on the bike new. It is a cheap bike, but you should still expect wheels that are true, and a bottom bracket with bearings that will hold up to light use. I wrote the company over a month ago, but have been ignored.
Bike riding is not that big a deal to me, that is why I did not buy a fancy bike. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably just buy a used bike at a pawn shop or at a garage sale, and take it to the bike shop and spend about $150 to fix everything with solid components (fancy things by Mongoose standards: wheels that are true, a bottom bracket with good bearings, tires that can go more than 150 miles without wearing out). I think I'd have come out way ahead.
Don't buy this bike--it's much more expensive than you think.

I am very (very) frustrated with these bike. With in a month of using it, the pedals disintegrated (for real). I have have to fix this by so many times (both by my self and in the shop) that I feel buying a bike twice this price would be cheaper.
Here is my last experience (this Tuesday)after 30 minutes in light trails: I got a flat tire, the brakes were not working well and making a lot of noise, the chain was skipping, the handle bar twisted, and the back tire was not changing the speeds.
If I fix it, again, it might work for a few weeks, but then, it will cost me again.
Recommendation: do not buy it!!

I purchaced this bike ( not from Amazon ) but from a well known outdoor store that puts all their bikes together for their customers ( it's what they do ) so when I picked this one out and the back tire kept catching on the rear brakes I questioned it. The guy at the store ajusted the spokes for me and make a few other minor adjustments and I tried it out. Good to go. Every bike needs some tweeking. SO I took it home it happened again, I fixed it myself, kept happening. Then the front tire started to do the same thing, and when I figured it was all adjusted this time I took it down my street ( no switching gear when it happend, and it was in the proper gear) the chain fell off, and then I fell off cause yeah.... no bike is worth this much aggrevation! No bike should have any issues right out of the store, especailly when they have people just for bikes! Compaired to a wal-mart like store where some joe shmoe puts it together for you. If your looking for a starter bike, a low budget mountain bike...KEEP LOOKING! This thing can't roll on a sidewalk with out throwing you forget a trail! You know what they say, you get what you pay for....which is why I kept the reciept! Keep looking, it's not made well at all!

We bought two bikes (man and woman)bikes... at first we had problems as our feet would hit the front tires on turns while peddling (very dangerous)! Good thing I got on this website and found another reviewer had mentioned the shock absorber forks had been on backwards. We flipped the forks so the brake calipers faced the front of bike. What a difference! the bikes ride fantastic and we are enjoying them!
