If it's anything like my trek 820 ($85 used/good), it's a so-so mtb, and a good commuter (7-10 miles). I found the gearing to be just enough for me as I was almost "geared out" on flat ground with no wind and slicks. Otoh, it has plenty of shorter gearing for hill climbs which I enjoy. It's upright and provides nice road feedback while being tough enough to throw around, kinda like an old schwinn except the components are relatively fragile and will probably wear quickly. The only gripe I had (besides the cheap components) was the handle bars being too low, which I probably can solve with spacers. The only problem you might have is outgrowing the gearing, but that should take a while to happen, and by then you can upgrade if you'd like.
