Well if it was a deal or not depends on how much you paid. Looks like a solid rider. not exactly gas pipe with steel wheels but it's not exactly middle of the road. more low-mid range, has all the upgrades from a gas pipe to make it a viable commuter and daily rider, like alloy components (wheels?) and a chromo frame. Solid bike I'm sure it will serve you well.
