My son bought one of these for use at college:

I had it for a couple of weeks before he took it so I checked, cleaned, adjusted and lubed everything. There were a few metal shavings near the hubs that could have caused problems later. I changed out the BB with a Shimano just because I didn't like the feel of the stock one and also changed the tire to some kevlar-belted ones from Perfomrnace. It is a decent bike and rode well once it I was done with it. A bit heavy (pretty much everything is steel on this bike) but he got it on sale for $175 so it was right at $200 delivered.
