Was it just sour grapes from the bike shop guy for not buying the $500 entry-level bike from his shop?
It's got me feeling a little down right now, honestly. I'm not sorry I got it, but I was surprised how that dampened my mood in a hot second.
Bike snobs that work in bike shops are not uncommon. Look at reviews for bike shops, there are usually a bunch of people getting talked down too, etc.

I picked mine up yesterday, and assembled it today. I made a mistake and damaged the head set cap bolt mount (I won't go into details, but it was my mistake). I mean, I could have played dumb and taken it back to Walmart for an exchange, but that felt unethical to lie so I took it to my local bike shop. I checked it in there for the repair. The guy looked at it and told me what I did wrong but assured me it won't be a labor intensive fix, so I just decided to have them repair it. He asked where I got it, and I told him Walmart. "mind if I ask what you paid?" I said it was about $240 out the door after tax. "You paid too much", he responded matter of factly.

I was honestly kind of taken aback.

The comments here, on Reddit, and on the YouTube reviews I read all seemed to indicate that this is a very good price for a bike like this. Was it just sour grapes from the bike shop guy for not buying the $500 entry-level bike from his shop?

Did you ask him why he thinks so. Or did you ask what can he recommend for 240?

I got mine today and also received an M.

Some say the M stands for "Mens" and not Medium, but I am confused...I kinda know my MTBs and I had researched the bike a bit before: it came in two sizes indeed, Medium and Large. Online they only have the Large on sale, for both colors, and ofc I've ordered a Large.

The Medium has an "effective top tube" (center of fork stem to center of seat tube) of 620mm and the Large was 645mm.

The M I got, "men's or not", is 620mm...

I cannot get anyone on the phone and no store has it...it is online only...I want the L dammit!

Did anyone got theirs and it is an L / 465mm effective top tube?

PS: if anyone in Orange County/SoCal got a large and actually needs a M, exchange? PM me

I did not. I just said "well, it's done now" and he said, "you have a bike."

As long as they fix what I broke and it's cheap it'll be fine. I might ask when I pick it up, or I might just drop the subject, what he thinks shouldn't really matter so much to me.

I have the huffy version of a Cannondale that I bought from REI. Meaning the components are entry level. I think I paid $460 in 2018 after a 20% off discount. I am coming from a different perspective. I was telling the REI tech that my Cannondale frame is great but everything else is the Huffy version of the bike.

There are bike snobs. But real cyclists always talk about the components of the bike that are most important. Prices will come back down to earth.

This OP is a nice Huffy bike, but it's still equal to a Huffy bike. If you really want to feel deflated, don't lock it up and see if anybody steals it. If they don't want it, there is your answer.

I mean I don't see anything I can get for 250. Maybe prices will come down during winter but still for 250 I have hard time convincing myself not to pick one

I am spoiled with 4 figure bikes for years, and I honestly say the bike is "OK to good" for $400 new, and nothing comes close for $245 or thereabouts new.

I got one just to ride single speed or lend to friends.

No, seat tubes are all "virtual" sizes with modern MTBs, as the actual top tube tapers down to roughly just above the seat post clamp... M and L are very close there. The difference is in effective top tube, Reach and Stack measurements.

This is a tabulated comparison:

https://geometrygeeks.bike/bike/s...m-dp-2021/

KevCentral also had a video comparing the two, again, the main difference is in the effective top tube and Reach (Reach is the horizontal distance between BB and head-tube, it is kinda tricky to measure accurately without a jig). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWZZFMcYFmE

Unfortunately (?) the barcode on the bike corresponds to the "Large" Axum I've ordered...so they've stopped having two of them? They only have one and is the 420mm top tube? UUUgghhhh.

I am just under 6'/182cm. This is is my n+1 bike, I've always been riding "Large" as adult and my latest "aggressive" MTBs were all pretty "long", i.e. this would be far from my largest bike.

Is the M rideable? Sure.
But I actually know the L would be a better fit because I have bikes with similar geo #s already.

KevCentral video you linked shows a different bike - Axum DP (pretty much the same bike but with a dropper post). Axum DP does come in two frame sizes - medium (red) and large (blue). The original Axum (non dropper post version comes in only one size - large - 19"). So if you received a black/gold speckled frame, it's a large. M on the box and also on the sticker on the bike stands for men's.

You've probably never heard of the second amendment then.
