Hard to say but the dawes that was posted will be a better option. You're going to want to adjust your gearing, to what only you can say after you've tried it out. The kent does not have a removable chainring, while the dawes does. I received an motobecane uno this year, same site but an 300.00 upscale version of the dawes, the bike is incredibly heavy and came geared all wrong. It was way to high for its first trip which was too and from the airport outside St. Louis which was very hilly and even a little too tall for Manhattan. I changed the gearing and it became my go to bike for commuting and trips to the city, its definitely heavy but smooth and comfortable. Being able to change the chainring and cog at the same time meant not needing a chain. By buying a combo that used close to the same number of teeth between the old gearing and the new gearing I had drastically different climbing ability while still using the same chain length. My pedals did fail completely at 5 miles but everything else has held up great.

Yes. If general the brand was crap when Dick's was selling the 20 years ago, the intervening decades have not been kind to the general quality of the brand.
