Good, inexpensive bike
By Anthony L. Pagliuso
I’m not sure about the previous post, but I am 6’0″ and 210 lbs. and the bike fits me fine. I adjusted the seat and handle bars and it’s the right size. The bike came patially assembled and the instructions were clear. It only took me an hour to assemble, but four hours to fine tune and re-tighten everything, including the steering head bearing and pedal bearing. The brakes and rear derailer took a long time to adjust properly, but in the end the bike rides nice. For the money the bike seems to be built tough and it looks good. Only time will tell how it will hold up, but so far I am happy with it.

Tough, Rugged, Attractive, Sturdy, Steely, Competitor
By Stephen Anthony Flynn
The Raptor Mantis, Men’s, 26-Inch, Mountain Bike, Red/Black,with its Steel Frame, is tough and rugged,yet competitively light and fast. I paid a meager $73.00 on mine not expecting anything near the quality design, materials and workmanship I discovered. I had never put a bike together before, and this required assembly which included simple instructions, and despite my genius IQ I succedded in easily assembling it with the included few necessary tools.The Current price is double what I paid, but its well worth it.

Not bad at all
By J. Toso
I am happy with the bike. It is much lighter than a Roadmaster we have. Instructions are not the best but common sense is really all you need. Took about 45 min to put together and another 2 hours to get brakes, seat, gears and handle bars adjusted. Go to youtube for that stuff and it’s easy to figure out. Gears don’t change the smoothest and I’m sure they are aligned pretty good but they still work properly. Front wheel is a little close to the pedals compared to other bikes so your feet will rub the tire when taking sharp corners (I just go to the balls of my feet when turning now so it won’t rub much). It seems well built. The box inside with the parts and the main box were a complete disaster when ups dropped it off. Looked like 4 dobermans went at it for an hour on the truck. I was worried a rim would be bent and some parts would be missing, but all was good.

Well, this is surely a controversial, elaborated and constantly evolving topic. There are so a heap of bicycle manufacturers, bicycle types and general brand names sold in the US, that it may be difficult to find a comprehensive summary and to sort it all out.

The top 20 most usual bike brand listing that I’ve compiled here is not based on the number of bikes sold alone or on the quality or sensed quality of the bicycles. Most of the bike manufacturers listed here also trade dissimilar bike types (road, mountain, hybrid, etc.) and the list under is not broken down by bike type or category.

This listing is intended to be a guide as to what bike brands are presently the most standard in the USA, at the time of this writing (since bike brands come and go and the sales of respective bike types rise and fall).

Some of the general bike brands listed here may only be purchased at special line of work bike shops or independent dealers. Although this selling technique makes these brands harder to find, in a lot of cases this it improves the sensed quality of the bikes over brands that are circulated to the mass market or that may be without apparent effort found at sporting goods stores or even online.

I have included the bike types or bike categories that each manufacturer sells beneath the brand names listed. The bike type descriptions were, in most cases, taken directly from each bike makers website in order to not only let you know what kind of bikes they make but likewise how the company grasps the bike types that they make and how they market them to you.
