Let's break it down:
RST is synonymous with CHEAPScreaming low end. We're talking sub-Deore here. Who sells a "$950" bike with an eight speed?Crap on a stick. They stick these on COMFORT bikesYou're ****ing kidding me with this right? The can't even put a true 80mm on this thing?Might as well have given you a boat anchor for brakes. They're no better than a average set of V brakesSuper descriptive of a part that needs little description. Danger Will Robinson DANGERNotice they don't say which oneHouse brand. Can we say cheapola? Not something you'd find on a "$950" bikeI'd sooner steer my bike with Kotex wingsGenericYou could do worseWhat they're grips? Whoopie!Sure it is. For some. Way too much hype hereProvided you never ride it. In short it's a ****ing Trek Y-26 of a different maker. It's at best a $400 bike and as has been said a BILLION times or more here Decent FS bikes start at a Grand.

GET OFF THE eBAY!

Nice work Raiyn.
For those playing along at home, note that Raiyn took the time to provide comments for entire bike, he put some time in responding the question, "is this a good bike?", which is what the caller had requested.
Several of the attached responses fall way off the original topic.
