Granted, I don't think it's a bad bike, at all. And per USD, it's a great value.
You just need to work through all of the BS with the cheap bike, that you may not have to with a more expensive bike.
Personally, I still think 159 is a helluva deal and less than some guys spend on their sunglasses for the ride.
I just read some reviews of this bike on the Target.com web site. Great reviews for such an inexpensive bike. If I wanted a spare emergency bike, I'd actually consider it.
