The key is the stand over height of the top bar of the frame. I bought the Framed brand bike from the deal posted here months back and even though it said the 18" frame size I bought was for people shorter than me, the top bar height made it impossible for me to stand over it. I even tried the 16" frame and my junk was just barely above the bar while standing over it.

Wow, a serious Mt. Bike for so cheap. I'm totally gonna rock this on my local downhill trail without even tightening the bolts cause Walmart assembly is so solid!

"Mountain bike" is just a style of bicycle. It's not a qualifier that the bike was built to navigate the most difficult downhill trail imaginable. Lol. Most mountain bikes probably never get close to a "mountain". People just consider them all-terrain bikes. What are all those people in flat Florida doing riding mountain bikes? Lol.

Don't do it! For this price go buy any old steel frame 90s bike you see on Craigslist or FB marketplace.

Does the used 90's bike come with new tires, 90 day return window and lifetime frame warranty?

Weird arguments to support buying a piece of junk - but you can get a used bike with functional tires or easily find nice tires for $10-20 [kendatire.com]. Lifetime frame warranty... that might be necessary with this frame, but I've ridden dozens of bikes thousands of miles (many on <$100 bikes) and the frames don't usually break regardless.

The 90 day return window might be useful because you'll get this bike and realize that it has no use case - it can't actually be ridden on trails and the things that make it a "mountain bike" make it really awful for riding on roads (terrible suspension and knobby tires sap the effort put into pedaling and are really inefficient).

If you want a toy to be discarded after something breaks (no, probably not the frame, but most of the junk parts on this can't be easily replaced) then go ahead and get this - if you want a bike to ride for more than a couple months get something else.

Lol. You're funny. People always come to these cheap bike threads with stories about how they're basically unrideable and will fall into pieces within a year. Yada yada.

My gf and I are going on our 3rd year with our Walmart Hyper brand (same as this) mountain bikes. They're ebikes but basically the same level of quality as this hyper mountain bike, but with rear hub motor and a battery. We paid $400 each on sale from a deal posted here. We LOVE them. We only get to ride once or twice a month. We've ridden hundreds of miles. We even take them on vacation. The only part to break in all those miles is the little plastic sensor disc on the crank for the motor sensor. I suspect it broke during loading/unloading from our bike rack. A new one is like $8. A little epoxy I already had on hand fixed it 👍🏼

Lol. What "mountain biking skills" would they be learning on a smooth paved ramp?

I have the same model from Walmart ~2 years ago for $124+tax. The stickers were red at that time but I peeled them off anyway, and I think the bike looks better without the stickers.

The first few weeks the chain kept falling off when shifting gears. Then I learned from YouTube on how to tweak the high/low limiter and a few other things, and it has been working well. I rode quite a lot -- estimated 1500-2000 miles total -- and have gone thru a few sets of brake pads, changed the handle bar rubber sleeves, fixed punctured inner tubes a few times, and even replaced the outer tires after the original ones worn out, all by myself. This bike allowed me to learn so much and I can pretty much fix anything for my family's bikes by ordering parts from amazon.

I mostly ride on city roads so I tightened the spring on the body to make that part as rigid as I can. I hope the front fork suspecting has a lockout but it might be too much to ask at this price.

Later I also bought a ~$600 REI CTY 1.1 bike which is of course much nicer in almost every aspect -- not a surprise for ~5x price. But I still ride this bike if I'm going to the shady part of the town, or places I know I have to park the bike very close to others and it'll be bumped and scratched a lot. If someone steals it, I might still cry a bit (like losing an old friend), but not for financial reason Smilie

When I bought this Walmart bike 2 years ago I knew nothing about bikes -- I didn't even know the difference between mountain bike vs hybrid vs road bike. If I had known at that time, I probably would have chosen a rigid bike given that I mostly ride on city roads. But still, this bike has served me well for basic commute needs, and I learned a lot on tweaking and fixing bikes. And it costed $124. No regret.

I was thinking of getting this just for the exercise purpose. According to Google Maps, a bike commute to my work is about 25 minutes. And since the heat here in Arizona is calming down a little bit, riding in the fall is nice weather. I hope this bike serves me well. Good luck with your exercise too.

Ordered 2 of these yesterday to pickup today. Today I got an email saying they couldn't get the items ready and that I could opt to have them shipped to my home which was my first option but then I thought they may run out so I wanted to pick them up today. I chose to have them shipped since I couldn't pick them up. According to Walmart I should receive them on Thursday 8/25.....we'll see though.. I suspect I'll get another email saying they couldn't fulfill my order....and then refund me a few days later.
