You guys fired a few shots both for and against the Pit-Viper. So I looked it up on the internet. Yea it probably is a good bike. It better be for the money! I may have mislead when I said stay away from china bikes but then I still agree that You Get What You Pay For. So lets re-phrase that.
"Stay Away From The China Bikes That Are Affordable"! If it looks to good to be true - it is! Those 500 dollar Kayaks were trash! And I did the right thing getting better "used" Jap bikes for my kids for the same money as the Kayaks.
