Any opinions about this bike?
The total cost of this bike will be more than $209.99 because it will come unassembled. Your time must be factored and I suspect you know very little about bicycles. I can bet that you'll spend several hours putting this bike together from scratch and even then, it still won't run as smooth as one that came out of a bike shop. For another $150.00 dollars more, you can have a brand new bike assembled by a professional. I can't stress the importance of quality assembly.

On the other hand, if all you have is $209.99 in your checking account, go ahead and buy it. It will be a learning experience.
