I've seen them as low as 299.97 at other stores I'm not sure if that's a better bike than this one.
Able core or sport.
Univega Rover rm29
All sub $300 online rn and better bikes, better spec'd.
Also picked up a GT for $80.00 but it need about $50 in parts.

Downsides.. it's HEAVY for an aluminum frame although not any worse than the typical Walmart bike. This is basically on par with the better Schwinns you can buy at Walmart or Target which are usually cheaper. Not a ton of info in the product description.. no name fork, probably no lock-out feature. Doesn't list speed 3x7? 3x8? 3x9? Lacking on info for specific components so assume everything is cheap bottom of the barrel. One size fits all.
If you are buying for yourself, you are way better off shopping used. If buying for a kid's Christmas present, add $100 back into the price to have a proper bike shop tune it up first. But $500-600, you maybe able to get something better from a legit bicycle shop on end of season clearance. Not really a deal here, imho.
For $400 there are so many better options.
The Ozark Trail Vibe can be had for $300, with another $30-55 cashback depending on which plugins you have, and which payment provider you get rewards from.
