It looks very clean, but as stated by others, it isn't a high dollar bike.

On the plus side, it says it has a cromolly frame. Not sure about the forks. But it doesn't make a big difference on this bike.

The wheels are more of the MTB variety. Should it be used in an urban environment, you'll surely want to change them to something more appropriate.

I think some of the negative comments are a bit harsh in light of what $100.00 buys you these days, i.e. not much! Compare it to what you can buy at a department store and then decide.

Oh, and remember, no matter what, it is going to need maintenance. And all of the above goes out the window if the shifters are non-functional and/or anything else mechanically is wrong with it.
You mean you can't just jump on FBM and find a nice bike for $100? , or a lot less. According to some folks you can. . Especially an upright rider that is good quality.
