Question for the PROS: at under $400, even with the inferior components, is this bike worth the price?

p.s. how often do you think this bike needs to be maintained if I just ride it once a week, on regular mountain trails? Thanks!

That bike wouldn't be worth it if they gave the thing away. It's a full scale POS. I've had the misfortune of working on one and I'd sonner send you out on a Royce Union. GO TO A REAL BIKE SHOP NOW
