I've had a couple of them pass through my hands, and while they're definitely an inexpensive bike, they're not a cheap bike, if you catch my drift.

3x7 Tourney has been around for a dog's age, and while it's not exactly state-of-the art, it works adequately for 'casual' recreational use. The whole bike is like that, really. It's basic and simple, without being chintzy.

Biggest drawback is because they're department-store bikes, they've only got whatever level of tuning they received at the factory; but they're quality enough that if you want to learn about maintaining a bike, that it'd be worth the time. (I wouldn't go sinking a bunch of money into upgrades, though)
