Looks like it was $280 last time.

Finding actual details about this bike can be frustrating...

The "powerful disk brakes" are cable, not hydraulic (not a big deal for the price, just can't find it mentioned anywhere and EVERY single picture I've found is from wrong side to tell).
This is where I found a video of the cable brakes.

Limited discussions (Only 2 threads) of the bike on reddit (nothing negative I could find).
https://www.reddit.com/r/cycling/...yce_union/
mentions the prior deal from months ago.

has some sizing details for reference.

Just to be clear- this is like $30 off the normal price. Every time the deal comes up someone posts 'the parts alone are worth more. So either royce/huffy are selling at a loss or something else is going on. My experience with them is that everything not specifically mentioned is the most generic huffy part you can imagine. My bike came broken, had the cheapest tires I've ever seen and was an absolute brick in terms of weight. The factory had stripped all the bolts so badly I could fix anything. Took me 3 months to get a reply from their customer service. For this price there are worse bikes out there but don't buy thinking this bike ever sold at 1200 or that Royce are selling at a loss. This is a huffy bike with some reasonable parts added.

Shame on them for not including rd hanger on aluminum frame. Good bike for money otherwise

I've purchased a couple of these already. The size chart is not accurate in my opinion. This fits similar to a 56cm in other brands. I'm 5'11" and it fits me perfectly. The stem is long so a shorter stem and lower seat height could accommodate a slightly shorter rider until the standover height becomes an issue. The mechanical disc brakes definitely suck. Overall it's an awesome deal at this price. Definitely recommend.

This should be a great commuter bike. It is not a " road race" bike, but in my book this is an advantage (more relaxed riding position, more stable character, wider tires provide notable cushion).

Thank you for the heads up, I was about to pick one up until I saw this! I've ruined an aluminum frame without a hanger in the past, not going to make that mistake again.

This looks like it would be better than the Giordano Trieste?

The WTB nano tires are 40mm wide but knobby. Knobby tires have a higher rolling residence than slicks (extra 10w/tire vs a common slick) but you can run them at a lower PSI for more comfort. Fork is aluminum so it doesn't absorb chatter as well as a carbon fork. I'm maybe 1.5mph slower on this than my racing road bike (w. slick 28mm tires) for the same level of effort.

Wow this is a steal. The shifters alone are probably 250.

It's not a $1200 bike. But for $250 it's better than your run of the mill Walmart bike. The Sora group set can be had for $150. If you're getting into casual biking this isn't a bad entry.
