I can assure you that you'll be deeply disappointed in person and even more when you lift the bike up to see how much it weighs.
I'd stick with a kilo as that specific off-brand kind of bike has always been sketchy.

You can't just pay less for a bike that looks like another, more expensive bike and expect the quality to be the same.

Definitely not worth $400. Everything on it is cheap and generic. The ad's composed as it were a used car ad. Oh yeah, this is an AERO reply to your post.

Those bikes aren't keepers and people who bought them soon realize what they did and would go to great lengths to unload them.
. And good decision passing on that bike.
