New 26" Mens Kent Bayside 7 Speed Bicycle Shimano Steel Frame Hot Rod Cruiser

Absolute garbage. Bent rim, bent fender, brakes not functioning, gears barely working. Tried to get company to exchange rim. Can't do that they say, but return the bike if you would like. The bike is assembled and the shipping package is in garbage. How? Not impressed.

The wheels on this bike were bent. The guard that goes from the frame to the wheel was bent and touching the wheel. The wheel guards on front and back were bent so wheel could not roll through the wheel guard.

My buddy and I bought 2, one from Amazon the other off Ebay. His derailleur broke when he got out the drive way, my rear brake pad ripped off before I got past the 2nd camp site. You get what you pay for.

I wanted a cruiser bike for riding around my small town. I thought Kent’s Bayside bike was a good choice and I really liked the bike’s look - colors, pulled back bars, wide seat, full fenders. I figured 7 speeds was a bonus. I attempted to purchase it from Walmart for $128 but they couldn’t keep it in stock long enough to order it. For $40 more from Amazon I could have it in a week.It arrived in a box; unassembled, of course. All the parts were there and it went together pretty easily. The finish of all the various components were good. Fit was another matter.The wheels - front & rear - were not trued very well. Both wobble from side to side. The front is the worst.The space between the fenders and the tires is tight causing the tires to rub against the fender and making loud noises. Very irritating. No amount of twisting, bending, modifying of the fenders solved the issue. I ended up removing both fenders altogether. It’s not the look I was after. (There is no one within 60 miles of me that can true bicycle wheels. Just have to live with it and no fenders.)The rest of the bike works OK. It shifts and brakes. The seat is fairly comfortable.As nice as the Bayside looks I believe there are better values out there. Do lots of research, ask questions, know what you’re getting.

The bike came unassembled in nice packaging. The teeth for locking the position of the seat did not engage enough to keep the seat position constant. I had to buy another seat for the bike.

Buy inexpensive, get inexpensive. Not very comfortable. Gear shifting is a bit wonky. I'd recommend something better if you're an every day rider.

RECEIVED THE BIKE WITH A FRONT RIM THAT DOES NOT RUN TRUE. ASKED THEM TO SHIP ME A NEW RIM AND I WOULD RETURN THE DEFECTIVE RIM. SEEMS SIMPLE TO ME. THE SELLER WANTED ME TO RETURN THE COMPLETE BIKE FOR A REFUND. I DON'T WANT A REFUND, JUST A RIM THAT RUNS TRUE. SEEMS LIKE THE SELLER TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT.

The gears don’t work great
