Royce Union makes bikes in different frame sizes but appears to be frequently quite vague about it. U-buy Nigeria [com.ng] indicates that it's a 19" frame, maybe this one is the same???

Those look like cheap stamped steel chainrings to me. I highly doubt they are Sora or even Shimano. Neither is the chain.

I care because they present the bike as being something better than it actually is.
Oh yes, definitely worth pointing out the false advertising. It's annoying that too many bike brands seem to do it. Even the expensive ones often say full group set and then stick a cheap BB or tektro brakes on instead. 😡

I merely meant that if anyone is thinking about purchasing, then at this price you shouldn't care. It's still a good deal. 😉

I bought 1 with last week's sale & they sent me the wrong bike. I've emailed them a couple of times but haven't received a response. I've called but i get transferred over to a department that never answers their phone. Too much trouble for this crap company

What did you get instead? If it's nicer, put it together and then resell it.

I know very little about bikes... Does anyone know if the bike linked below is a good deal for a 7 year old girl? She's short at about 47". I'm trying not to spend over $150, so the price is right for me.
https://www.royceunion.com/all-bi...rtx-73519/

Is there something better I should look for in this price range?

It's currently $300 on Amazon where many of the reviews seem to say it's a bit heavy.

I checked the domain owner
https://www.royceunion.com,"whois" portal says the owner emails is: [email protected]
So huffy bikes usually entry level bikes with steel frame.
I suppose it's Huffy bike with private labeling.
They even created subdomain for that.

Buy bikes having Alum frame, disk rotors and shimano shifters. The bike you provided costs about $100-$150

I ordered the RGF during the 25% off sale. Came with a broken shifter and preinstalled disk brakes that rub against the rotor. The brakes can't be adjusted because the bolts were stripped at the factory. Emailed customer service but have not heard back. Order with caution. Also- the tires on the RGF are about the cheapest looking tires I've ever seen on a bike. They feel like innertube material and look like something that belongs on a toy. It's not the worst $280 bike I've seen, but don't buy into their line about these bikes being marked down from 700 or 1000.

Yeah it's part of a conglomerate that is listed in the footer of every page...

Don't expect any sort of support from this company. They don't answer emails in a timely manner, and when they do they provide incorrect info. They never pick up the phone.

theyre calling everything a gravel bike now
Can you explain a little more? What's wrong with calling every bike as a gravel bike?

There is nothing wrong with it, IMO. In fact, I am a little gleeful about it. People who ride gravel bikes are the vegans of the bike world. They try so hard to avoid buying a mountain bike that they contort themselves mentally and physically just so they can say "I ride a gravel bike" to anyone who will listen. It would bring me joy for someone to reply "Wow! I have a Royce Union gravel bike, I love it!"

They don't show a parts breakdown, but I can tell from the pictures that the cranks and cassette are NOT Shimano Claris. I'm guessing that the only Claris components are the derailleurs and maybe the shift levers.

Still probably a decent deal for the price if it fits you (I don't see any sizing information), but don't be fooled by their claim of it being " a full SHIMANO Claris 16-speed drivetrain".
Oh great here we go again.

TLDR: stay away from this one.

I'm not a bike guy, just wanted something basic to ride with the kids. Just received the RMG I ordered with the 25% coupon. $200 shipped. The shipping email and CC charge all say Huffy. So this is just a private labeled Huffy. After assembling the brake disc heavily rubs on the brake pad, and the whole wheel is not centered in the fork. When using the higher gear on the pedal crank it makes this grinding rattling sound that the lower gear doesn't. No kick stand. Emailed the company, no response. For $200 shipped it isn't a deal, not worth it. My daughter's Walmart Huffy has Shimano parts on it too, but it came assembled and doesn't have any mechanical issues for the same price.
