While it is a sturdy construction, the front fork broke after some small potholes on the road, as you know the roads in Greece. I had to fix it, but that's not the only problem. The fork opens and twists on its own, it's soft and leaks, if I may say, and there's not much you can do about it. Also, where the wheel is screwed, the small plastic parts that make the wheel turn constantly play. It seemed to have good and sturdy construction, but the fork is very fake. I will have to throw it away, I didn't even have it for long, just another bike that will end up in the trash and then as scrap metal.
