Here are all the specs:

Schwinn Mesa GS

Rear deraileur: Alivio
Front deraileur: Acera
Front suspension: Magnesium SR Suntour XCP75
Crank: Truvotiv isoflow
Rims: Xtrim by Alex
Tires: WTB Velociraptor 2.1
Frame: Aluminum

I test rode it and thought the pedals were too small for my big feet. They made my heels hit the crank arm. The front wheel also looked a bit wobbly while it turned, which made me wonder about the overall quality. They said they could take the pedals off and trade them in for different ones which I'd have to buy. Also a kickstand costs $6.

Ooookay, so what do you guys think? To buy or not to buy? That is the question!
