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

Besides, just look at the bikesdirect website. You trust a company to build good bikes with a website like that?
I bought one and
1) The rear wheel wasn't latched in place, so it bounced around in shipping and the sprockets scratched up a lot of the frame
2) The chain was routed incorrectly through the rear derailleur pulley and was grinding against a metal tab (I have read stories from others having this same problem) and
3) Something is wrong with my frame and the rear brake rotor is grinding against the brake caliper because of it. The rotor isn't bent and the caliper is mounted as far over as it can be, so it can't be fixed. I'm not sure if it was bent in shipping or if it was just welded wrong, but neither surprises me.
So I'm going to be returning mine since it's completely unrideable. It's also currently out of stock. If you do buy one, it's going to require a lot of work to get it up and running, and even then its a gamble, but it has the potential to be an amazing cheap bike.

Very strong disagree about the used marketplace though. At least from what I've seen. Not seeing all of these 2 year old bikes that people gave up on. Mostly seeing 15 year old bikes that aren't worth it, or $2500 bikes where people "know what they've got". Better off buying that Axum or the Marin if you have the extra cash.
