Men's 27.5" Decathlon ST100 [walmart.com]
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.

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.
Im very skeptical about the Walmart and Schwinn as my main bike but would be interested in hearing the thoughts. My budget is $800 so if that helps

IF it fits you WELL - then this is a helluva deal on a decent platform to start with for incremental upgrades. Being a 1x out of the box is really nice (even if you upgrade the drivetrain in the future) for off-road use.
I'd have no worries about the strength of the frame itself (lifetime warranty anyway). Hydro formed frames are very strong. I just personally find the Axum geo a little odd for my size and preferences.
And knowing that any future upgrades will cost much more than the base price of this bike, I elected to start building on a frame that works better for me.
Bottom line, IF it fits you WELL, great deal on a good bike. But if the fit is not right, it doesn't matter how good the deal is, the fit compromise is not worth the savings (IMHO).
Your mileage may very of course.

There's a youtube channel that reviews other Walmart bikes that are really good deals and some of those are already specced better than this out of the box. (Giordano, Kent Trouvaille)

What worries me is the low bottom bracket as I only tried it in the city so far. It sounds like a big compromise out on the trails. Would you say this would be a liability while riding if it's so low. I had a schwinn full suspension years back with an old geo and 26 tires and I remember having issues getting around rocks in the trail because of the geometry on that bike. I had to jump over them. Riding a 29er feels like you can power over anything when I tried going into a construction site near me but everything was flat enough that I didn't notice that low bb being an issue 😩

I wouldn't recommend that to most people unless that's something your specifically looking for

Rodskii - did you add any of the optional rotors to you order?
Thanks
