I realize this is not the same level of the original post but good deal for a bike.

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'm 5'11 and the geometry of the frame makes it feel like a tight fit for me. It felt small. But I'm used to 26 inch wheeled bikes and not 29ers with this newer geometry. On the other hand, the Axum feels slightly big for me and I can only assume that anyone over 6 feet would feel right at home.
Also the amount of bike you are getting for $130 more is just out of this world. Every single part of the ST100 feels like a budget build, the selling price for that one is $150-200 rather than the list price. The red frame is awesome though and it's very smooth and light. The Axum just feels like a different grade of bike. Everything is metal, from the pedals, the brake handles (both plastic on the ST100), the quality of the frame, the paint, it feels like a more expensive bike from the way it rides and it takes bumps, and this is just on the street. I haven't taken it to any trails near me.
Don't get me wrong the ST100 is a sweet bike and it handles well, came out of the box shifting and braking smoothly, but it felt small for me only because the Schwinn is so large and is a bike that I can take on trails right away. The Axum I feel I can throw it down a hill and it is more likely to survive, at the expense of being a bigger bike. (more cumbersome to store in my car and my place w/no garage

When you say flimsiness I'm not sure to what bike you are comparing it to but it's probably not the ST100, for $130 more if you need a trail bike, are ok with a 29er that is both longer and taller than the ST100, and can fit correctly in the Axum, you are getting way more than that $130 difference. The pedals are metal on the Axum and they are not flimsy, the touch points are what gets criticized the most on the Axum but that is compared to more expensive bikes, at $225, there is nothing you can find that's this quality and that you can take into a trail right away. It just feels very solid. I may eat my words when I take it to a trail but after riding both back and forth I am more than impressed.
I'll comment as well that I measured the standover height to be 31 inches at a minimum on the Axum, the frame tapers up and your parts will be in danger if you are any shorter than that and need to jump off the bike onto your feet. My inseam is 32 inches at 5'11" so by my measurements I barely make the cut off to use this bike. The ST100 large frame has a lot more space for your parts to be safe but the geometry is tighter, but it does ride more relaxed. They're just for different purposes.
I agree that the best thing the ST100 has going for it is the sizes, I have a small on that one on the way for my wife since the medium they had at the store was too big for her. She will never come near the flat trails in Florida that I intend to try so it fits perfect. Two bikes for a bit over 300 to get started.

Thanks, I'm going to order a set.
While it's a lot of bike for the money, the size is too large for me at 5'10 with a 30.5" inseam - and I'm used to riding large sized 29ers - as my main rides are higher-end Specialized 29ers with L sized frames.
And while the Axum has a slack head tube, the rest of the angles and sizing felt off to me.
Most modern MTBs have a much more angled top tube, lower seat stays and shorter seat tube. That gives you a lot of versatility in adjusting your seating position and getting full use out of a dropper.
With the height of the Axum's seat tube, there's no way for me at 5'10 to get full use of a dropper - especially a 150mm one, which is what I prefer on a 29er.
And oddly the bottom bracket on the Axum is very low - especially for a large frame on 2.6" tires. The BB height is quite a bit lower than any of my other bikes including the size small ST100 I bought for my kid, and the 18" Framed Rendal I picked up a couple of months ago.
I really wanted it to work out as it would save me from converting my Framed Rendal to a 1x drivetrain. But alas, the Rendal is a much better fit/geo for me so I'll stick with that.
I do think this a good bike (and a great deal) for taller riders than me. But I don't think anyone who actually wants to ride trails should compromise getting the right size just because of the great price.
Like I mentioned, I have the Axum (atm), Framed Rendal, the Decathlon ST100, and a bunch of Specialized MTBs currently, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
