Though I can offer little, to no, information on your specific bicycle, I can comment on the class from which it springs.

Hundreds of different bicycle makes were made, from generic frame sets, and my guess is your bicycle features one of those frames. The Asian frame will be made of low end tubing, at best, with stamped steel drops. The components will be slightly above entry level. The bicycle will increase in value, but it will be a long time before it is of great value(my opinion).

Ride quality will be OK but nothing inspiring, again, in my opinion.

You can check approximate vintage by studying some of the components fitted. Visit the Trek page on Dating Components and learn how to determine the vintage of your bicycle.

Visiting MY "TEN SPEEDS" might help with some of the bicycle quality questions that come to mind.

I hope I have been a help and do not feel dismay that your bicycle is not high end. It will be a fun bicycle to ride and certainly unusual, when all other bystanders are, well, standing by.

Bye and best of luck with your bicycle.
