The first bike arrived damaged and unusable. They refused to honor their return policy, insisting that I either repair it myself (they sent me a link to a YouTube video wtf) or bring it to a mechanic at my own risk. Suffice to say, I opened a credit card dispute and am still fighting to retain my credit.
The second bike hadn't been shipped when the issues with the first began, so I requested a cancellation, which they confirmed. Then they shipped it anyway. I refused the delivery. It arrived at their facility 2 weeks ago and I still haven't received a refund. Another dispute was opened and I'm having to deal with that now.
Edit: just checked and the first dispute was finally resolved in my favor just this morning. Now on to the second dispute…
I ordered one of the Able bikes in the last deal. About three weeks went by between the time of the order and when I realized I hadn't received the bike. Meanwhile, they spammed the heck out of my email account with other "promotions". I emailed the general customer service email address demanding they provide me an update. No response. About another week goes by and I get a "your order shipped" email notification. Great! Fantastic! Except that a few hours after receiving that email, I got a retraction saying they had made a mistake and my order hadn't shipped.
I emailed them to demand cancellation of the order based on the long wait and my spidey senses telling me something was off. I actually got a response within a few hours that acknowledged my request and told me the order would be cancelled. Guess what? The next day, Mendham shipped the bike. Geez. When I got the shipment notification, I started checking the tracking and noticed it took them more than a day to actually ship the bike (they just issued tracking by creating a shipping label). In the interim, I again emailed them about cancellation and warned them not to ship. No response. The bike arrived and box and interior parts were beat to hell. I put in a dispute with my credit card company, who immediately issued a confirmation of successful dispute, a sign they know what Mendham is up to. I tried several more times to demand they take the bike back. They finally responded on the third email and asked for a huge list of items. I took the bike to a charity that fixes up bikes and gives to kids in need. I'll just rely on my CC underwriter.
Please save yourself from the same headaches and from having to write an equally painful testimonial on SD by just skipping this "deal". It's not a deal and if you research online, you find the bikes are junk anyways.

Both bike have frame damage we received. One also has broken spokes on the tire. The way they are packaged is a very poor design. Expected better packaging design from such a large manufacturer (Kent). The bikes just float around inside the shipping box. No foam blocking or anything in places their probably should be. The reason the tire broke is because it's weaved into the peddle assembly creating Alot of stress on the wheel spokes.
Reaching out to the seller. We will see how this goes.
these are all drop shipped from Kent. so it's not the sellers fault unless they know Kent is sending out pre-damaged bikes. I dunno how they keep up with this business with such awful packaging...no wonder they have so many poor reviews.
also finding more bent areas the more I check things over. back drop out also bent in where the Shimano gear is attached.
might be exceptionally bad for me as I had two boxes in shipment that probably got stacked and banged around with each other.

"It's being checked for quality, and pre-assembled to make your life easier when it shows up to your door."
So at a minimum, they "pre-assembled" it for you.
- The pictures from Mendham's site have a front fender but your front wheel doesn't have it.
- Are the brakes working well? Any issues with the Hydraulic brakes out of the box?
- What's the size of the rotor? Usually it's either 160mm or 180mm
- What rear derailleur did it come with? The site picture appears to be an Acera but yours look like it could be Tourney?(can't quite make out your picture)
- Looks like a piece of plastic got chipped from your top headtube area. Any other damage or issues you've noticed?
TIAThe brakes work fine and are indeed hydraulic. The only problem is the front calipers are not mounted to the fork out of the box so you have to do your own mounting which took a little time to finagle so that it didn't rub up against the disc.
Not sure about disc diameter.
Tourney TX
No that is just the reflection. Head tube looks okay. I can see why that other guy got a broken spoke though. The crank arm is threaded through the spoke when they package it. Sounds dangerous to me.
