Walmart.com has Schwinn Axum Large frame (19") mountain bike in black and blue for $348.
That's a $100 savings from the regular price.
Shipping is free
This one one of the best value entry level hardtails. The components are less than ideal but the frame is upgradable. You can ride it as is, and upgrade the components in the future. Check out various reviews on youtube on this bike.
The only downside of this deal is that the frame is only in large size, good for someone around 6 foot tall.
If you are around 6' tall and want to try mountain biking and don't want to spend too much money on it, this is the bike you might consider.
Some of the features:
- 29" 2.6 wheels
- tapered head tube
- 1 by 8 drivetrain (cassette)
- mechanical disk brakes
- internal cable routing for the seat dropper post

Looks like you can't really go by the photo. I'm sure whatever it is, it's a fine fork, but again, it is not named and you don't know what you're getting.The frame has a 67.8 HTA and 73.5 STA, which very modern for a hardtail. It can also fit 29x2.6" tires rear and 29x2.8" front stock, something which most big brand hard tails can do. The frame is the most important part of the bike and the Bikes direct bike has a very outdated geometry and a non-tapered headtube. I put a boost Markhour on my Axum along with a 36 mm thru axle wheel and upgraded to DHF 29x3.0 front and 29x2.4" rear tire and even with stock brakes and groupset I was able to handle a bike park (never dropped the chain once). I have since upgraded to Advent X and about to upgrade the brakes to the SRAM hydraulics and its basically a Trek Roscoe for $800 less.
