Mango bikes?? are they good quality?

[Leslie]

Hi

I recently posted a thread about buying a single speed tokyo bike and my second choice is the slightly cheaper mango bikes. Does anyone have any experience in riding these are do you think they are worth a buy for everyday city cycling?

Mango are better value than Tokyo, but take a look at the geometry charts. Basically, it's not far off a road race frame, with ultra-short chainstays and a very steep seat tube angle. The only compromise is the head angle being 73 degrees rather than the 74 you would expect to find on a racer. These bikes are not going to be relaxed and predictable to ride on rough urban tarmac. They will have quick handling and feel twitchy.
