I don't know how this would compare to the Denali or if I still wouldn't be better off building up the old Varsity but it is something different.
Thanks.

Hey there s1xty7!
It really shouldn't make that much of a difference, which Walmart bike you get!
However, what you must understand, is that Walmart bikes generally don't last that long due to faulty and cheap components. Also, you'll be very lucky if the components have been installed properly. Hey! It's not just Walmart, it's Target, K-mart, etc...Any store that deals in the mass marketing of bikes in boxes.
Now..Back to your bike business.
The main goal here is to get you riding on a really reliable bicycle. A bicycle that will last you for the rest of your life. Wouldn't you like that type of bike? -OR Would you prefer a box bike?
As I said before, you need to find a chromoly steel frame so that you can go from there. That's it!
