Wally bikes maybe ok for some commuters, but seeing Wally bike quality firsthand, and repairing the damage I can do to even an entry level LBS bike from my daily commutes, Wally bikes are not even close to being on my bike purchasing radar.
Saving a few hundred dollars is sometimes not worth the added effort in making constant repairs or upgrades, which may end up in the long run costing just as much or more than that dedicated commuter bike one was trying to avoid buying in the first place.
