Right now, I'm kinda broke, so if something catastrophic happened to all my other bikes, a whole bike for the cost of one component or even a decent tire might be tempting.
Also, not a bike I'd be scared to lock up anywhere with the flimsiest of locks, nor care about scratches, dents, dings, etc.
As good as anything else you're going to find for $35-60 -- even on CL, a crappy, used dept. store bike will be advertised for this much or more.
