The frameset is nice if you want to "look" like you're riding a true Team bike (build it up with half-decent Suntour components), but that frame is essentially no better then a '70s Grand Prix/Record.

Me? I'll save my $200 for the real deal.

Agreed, but in NYC, you'd likely have to pay $50.00 for that Murray... and actually, I'd prefer the Grand Prix frameset.
