Avalanche Challenga (flip flop hub)

[AbuHamnah]

Hi guys, is the Avalanche Challenga bicycle (commuter) any good especially for an entry level/beginner rider? I like how it's really affordable according to my budget, but does cheap mean inferior quality? Anyone has had experience with this particular bike?

Thanks

Very hard to see what the actual quality of the components are. i would want to know the wheels, tyres, brakes and crank are a step-up from supermarket level quality.

but avalanche do really have good bang for buck in this segment of the market. I'm guessing it won;t be the lightest bike out there but will be durable at least. 

 

flipflop hub is cool, you can ride it as a fixie if you want, but it doesn;t give the various cog sizes so guess they are both 17
