not really, maybe go for a big hit or something along the lines of that.

Try www.chainreactioncycles.com for something better

Mr Farmer, it is an apollo. Therefore you can guarentee several things happening.

1) On recieving the bike, no bolt will be done up tight enough.
2) On tightening the bolts, every thread will strip.
3) On sitting on the bike, the saddle will disintegrate.
4) On touching the bars, the gears will make a funny noise and never work again.
5) On gripping the bars, the brakes will make a funny noise and never work again.
6) On riding off a curb, both wheels will not just buckle, but collapse.

Apologies if this is a bit stereotypical, but I am not a great fan of apollos.

Mr Gee and Mr Farmer, call me harsh but id like to put you guys on a small warning for making me talk like a spaz with the way you typed your post. Please never do it again.
In regards to the question,
It really is an awful bike and I agree with everything that dunno has said. We need to know a budget so that we can help you further.

Having just gone to another forum and looked around, it appears mr farmer was on a wind up.

So, all together now... breathe.......
