I realize this is not the same level of the original post but good deal for a bike.
"You've saved $10 with WOWFRESH promo code"
Amex Everyday Bluecash supposedly 3% for online orders, YMMV if this counts for pickup...
In for one. I bought a bike for $20 that needed work yesterday....so that's backburner now LOL.

I will say, the 130mm was a bit much. The bike suffers on tech climbs now.
No surprise, corners are cut in this bike even if they are smart cuts. I've got a 90s bike shop mtb and a Bikesdirect bike as points of reference. In terms of modern geometry the Axum is a clear winner. But the Axum shows some characteristics that you expect out of a cheap Walmart bike. The wheel hubs are crude looking and in my case the front bearings were way too tight. It felt very gravelly which is a clear sign of an overly tight bearing race. I will note that the Bikesdirect bike was around the same price point when new ($450 I think). The 2.25x29 tires are clearly not as modern in thought as the 2.6x29s. Nor is the 3x drive train. Conversely, the BD fork is better (but still very entry level). The brakes are hydraulic vs cable and the secondary parts (seat, handle bars etc) appear to be of a higher standard. But they also represent a design that is perhaps a decade old in geometry etc. The Axum clearly is a better starting point.
The BD bike did need some adjustments out of the box. Things like the derailleur were all but adjusted. On the other hand the bearings all felt quite nice. The BD bike only required adjustments that could be done with typical tools (screwdriver, hex key to adjust the seat etc).
As I get the Axum together I will note assembly steps that are above and beyond standard. I wouldn't expect the average buyer to have the tools or skill to re-tighten the front axle.

I have $600 to shell out not sure what to get. Need that those 1x drivetrain

TSDZ2B:It is new version,so the main gear is double clutch
New version TSDZ2B has two clutches designed on the main gear, Main gear is disengaged from the chain during riding, So it feels as easy to ride as a bicycle; Old version TSDZ2 rides with main gear, Main gear turns with small gear.So the riding resistance is larger than bicycle

The Axum is a very low entry point and gives you a lot of cash for upgrades but something like this is nicer out of the box.

Anywhere I can read about why Schwinn geometry is better than others? I'm coming across that the geometry is better but I don't know how or what to look for. I'm living in Austin ATM so there isn't much of trail range but I plan to move elsewhere that's bike friendly or road trip with bike. So any comments on reading about geometry and what to look for.

A 90s mtb can be a great buy but condition can vary widely. It's it freshly serviced or is the grease dry. Even worse, is it rusting or are the bearings pitted. If you can't do it yourself ask a bike shop how much they would charge to go through the bike. If course price is another big factor. I've seen people asking near new prices for a 25 year old Trek. I've picked up Trek 800s in good to great shape for under $50.
Alternatively something like a new gravel bike/hybrid bike might make a lot more sense. They can hit easier trails while being far better on road.
