No, you aren't gonna win the TDF on it. But, it just might get you to work and class. And if it get's stolen, it costs less than your North Face to replace.
Now we can just point at this $150+tax solution which works from the start instead of trying to get a POS beater to work with $150 minus whatever they paid for the bike.
I only put in about $120 for my FG, which were frame set, stem and brakes, but I had all the other parts on hand already.
