Mongoose Colton Adult Mountain Bike, Hardtail, 7-Speed Drivetrain, 17-Inch Aluminum Frame, 27.5-Inch Wheels, Slate Blue

I got the blue 17” bike about four months ago for riding errands around town. I’m not one to go for a serious off-road trek or anything like that, just a ride from point A to point B. So far, I haven’t had any real problems with the chain coming off (as reported by some reviewers) or any other issues. The bike’s build quality seems solid, and it is as fairly simple easy to assemble. The only issue I have is the handlebars sit pretty low, so I have to continually lean forward during rides. Other than that, I’m pretty satisfied with the bike for the money I spent on it.

This is a well built bike great for beginners to intermediate riders.Using mine mostly for transportation through my neighborhood.Shifting is smooth and easy, making hills a breeze. Brakes are solid. I Like the comfort of the oversized 2.6" wide tires, and the frame geometry and 27.5" wheels makes it somewhat forgiving.*Dropper post ready*Wish it came in black or red.Comes w kickstand.Assembly was relatively easy, simply attach handlebars and front wheel.Overall a great bike for the money.

Fully stock and out of the box, it surprisingly rode well. It was clear the technician that pre-built and packaged it lnew their stuff. After swapping/upgrading most of the components, it rode even better. I bought this bike as an e-bike project and now that I have it dialed in, I kinda wanna keep it this way.

Mongoose - Colton / Ador.This bicycle is to short in length to be suitable for me, the size chart is incorrect for a person 5'-10", I've rode bikes for over 50 years and my problem with this bike is that the seat and handle bars are way to close together !So perhaps a longer stem would help but not sure and I really don't want to waste money by throwing it at the problem at this time, just guessing usually it's a thrifty solution !Anyways if you buy one these bikes you might have a different experience, good luck.

Since I bought this bike, I keep having issues, first with the shiftings, then the derailleur does not work properly and keeps squeaking, and cracking. The chain broke.I am really disappointed.
