$327.00. Looks good and I like the fact it has brakes. Are the components decent?

Lemme guess; sporty_momma? They're good bikes to get started on, but it's heavy. The rear wheel feels like it's forever stuck in mud, and everything is pretty cheap. If it's your first bike, you'll never notice, but if it isn't, then you'll definetely notice it. I'd say to go for it.

Geometry is lax, but it makes a good single speed. Don't expect to use it on a track. Also, don't expect any part on the bike to last more than a year if you ride it regularly (more than 100mi a week).
Also please read this thread, as the component set on the bikes is the same.
