There are actual bike shops that sell bikes even some at lower prices that are built by people who *drum roll* work in a bike shop and know something about bikes that would give them the knowledge to build it properly. Plus you can get fit and maintenance advice and potentially discounts on labor or other useful stuff. Plus generally most bike shop workers are much much less exploited then workers at Wallymart.
You can call me a snob but I dislike mistreatment of workers and a poor quality product sold at an inflated price. I don't know what scrap metal is going for but I am sure it is not the amounts that Wallymart and others are selling bikes for.
