There are a lot of threads on here that talk about these bikes (and similar ones... they're all made in the same factory probably).
Basically, you end up with a bike that rides, but you start replacing parts when the stamped metal crap starts snapping, rusting, creaking, etc. Sure, the frame might be okay, but it's probably heavy, poorly painted and the welds are probably garbage. It just seems like a waste of money to buy one of these when for a few hundred bucks more you can get something with some better components and a cleaner frame.
Just my opinion, but these are geared at hipsters that want a colorful bike that rolls. They couldn't care less about long-term quality or the overall ride.
