Daughter is very happy with it
Ordered bike over the internet from Mantel. Bike was delivered by PostNL in a big box. Handlebars straight, saddle at height, pedals on and cycling. Well not so, 1st gear does not work at all. Nexus 3 not properly adjusted. Brakes are also not properly adjusted. In the evening, the headlight turned out to be far too high. Maw I had to spend quite some time tinkering to get everything right, shame next time back to the local bike shop for a new bike.
