I have been eyeing this bike for several months, and I finally bought the last one when the price hit $174

At least you made a decision on what you wanted and bought it . Congrats , can’t have too many bikes until you run out of storage space . Then you buy an out building . 
Post a picture when you get it put together.

vwry nice bike. Reviews on Amazon were worthless. Nothing mismatched, not small. Small scratch from packaging. Needed to loosen the hub bearings and bottom bracket. Other than that, some spoke tensioning was required

It's a SunRace (Sturmey Archer) 3 speed. Seems to shift smooth as Nexus, but brake has a clunky sound to it. It works, and there is no axle end play. The saddle and grips are pretty, but I must admit they aren't very comfortable. All in all, I still like it and found it a bargain for sure!
