They say you get what you pay for, I got far more. Great value. The one issue I did have was a scratch on the bar end and Cycle Force Group sent me a new one the next day.

You have to consider the overall value in terms of price vs. benefit. Is this bike a good deal? Depends on how much you pay.
Depending on the mood and timing of Amazon, I have seen this bike (brand new Smith and Wesson Tactical including shipping) range from 830 to the 330 price I got just before Christmas 2007.
I rank it a reasonable buy at up to 500. Most of the bike is great quality from the frame to the components, so I'll mention the disappointments:
-The rack is some 3rd party cheapy with enough adjustments to fit about any bike out there...to some degree. Because of some interferences on the S&W, the rack has to be adjusted to a higher position than should be necessary. The net result is a high center of gravity, cargo height limitations with the seat, and many adjustment joints to work loose.
-The seat must be off of a tractor.
-The pedals have pseudo toe clips that are useless. They actually have no provisions for straps, just a plastic tow piece that is too flimsy to pull up on.
-The tires are fat street tires with enough cosmetic features on the sides to trick the eye into thinking they're mountain bike tires.
-The initial adjustments were far off on both deralures and the disk brake. It took me a couple of extra hours to get it working right (it does works very well after the adjustments).
I'm happy with it considering the price I paid. I wouldn't pay more than 500. Shopping around will give you better deals above that price.

First of all to all those who complain about the ambiguity of the included instructions when under-taking assembly of a bike delivered in a box to their front door, may not really be up to the task. Frankly I found the owner's manual of the Smith & Wesson bike to be refreshingly specific to the bike in question. Most all bike manuals are a " lube this, tighten that " generalized instruction blurb. In fact I never bother to look at them, bikes are inherently simple, and a person must have the proper bike tools to address a bike in a box requirements...such as wheel truing, headset adjustment, derailleur set-up, brake-pad positioning, cable lubing, and on & on. Something a small manual cannot instill in a person, it has to be there in the person already. That person has to be perpared to take the responsibility of the hazards involved in rolling a bike down the street, especially if they are looking for a great deal on the bike, price-wise. And they take responsibility by knowing what they are doing before they pop the first copper staple out of the bike box.
That said there are challenges that await. The rear wheel of this particular sample required truing, the star nut and headset preload bolt were mysteriously missing, the brake cables were not in their proper levers. Outside of that everything seems " copacetic "... fine & dandy. Amazon sold me this for great great price so I'm not going to fuss too much, the missing headset bolt was disconserting, mainly alleviated by a FSA Conix starnut replacement (no longer made), and I can certainly understand why the cables got turned around...packing a handlebar in a box off the headset is a little tricky... if you don't want to kink the cables.
This bike exudes authority, but it is a bike designed for " Clydesdales " ie cops on doughnuts. And if you don't have a problem with the words " Smith & Wesson " then you should ride it proudly. Paint-job is well done and comes with two " S & W " water bottles so you can really go to town showing off their logo. Rims are 36 hole downhill rims, so they may last you awhile. Full SRAM build kit, Formula hubs, all from Taiwan I suspect. Taiwan used to build Breezer bikes, the ones to his claim to fame. Go to his Website if you want a better bicycle manual.
So I thank-you, Amazon, your comrade Cycle Source Group who markets S & W bikes, and you the reader for getting through this.
