Like I said in earlier posts I don't know a whole lot about that brand, but unlike the BCA that started the post the one you are referring to appears, note I said appears, to be the usual lower end stuff they sold due to the use of steel seat posts, stem, bars, and rims, however someone replaced the rims, stem and bars with what appears to be aluminum which is good. For $10 (plus the other bike) I think you have a good commuter bike, it will be a bit heavy but as a commuter being left outside at work that bike will be fine. I do think you should caliper the seatpost to get a measurement and replace it with an aluminium one for good measure, and then put some light grease on both the seat post and the inside of the seat tube before putting the new seat post in then simply wipe off the excess grease.
