Im thinking about buying a Mercier MTA frame and wondering if its a decent frame for general commuting, does anyone have one and have something to say about it? Thank you

I already have everything except a bottom bracket, and the frame is 110$

Well, in that case why not get a Vilano frameset, which includes a BB and seatpost for less >>> https://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-TRACK-FIXED-...item27ba65b892
I have one, it's pretty cheap and cheesy, but not particularly heavy and gets the job done.

Those are Lasco cranks. They are takeoffs from my Motobecane Messenger.
