The way a bicycle rides is more dependent on frame geometry, tyres, and saddle than the actual frame and $50.00 isn't a lot of money... you might swap all your parts into this frame and love it which would be great and if you donn;t you could probably flip the frame for what you paid for it.
My Aluminium framed commutourer is a very comfortable bicycle... the rigidity of the frame assists with acceleration and climbing while the 700:28 and 700:35 tyres I run really smooth out the ride.
