I got this bike at the local Academy Sports & Outdoors brand new for about $150. Since then, I've put about 100-200 miles on it on back country roads and park paths, and have absolutely no complaints.

Key Features:
-Surprisingly comfortable stock seat
-smooth, easy shifters
-great ergonomic handgrips
-very solid, sturdy construction
-excellent brakes
-looks great
