That is an entry level mtb. Low grade components all around. This doesnt make it a bad bike just know the components arent going to take a beating as well as a higher end bike. I personally wouldnt pay more than 200 to 250 for that rig.

Thanks! I have decided against it also. Not only the low specs and high price have turned me off, but the guy wasn’t willing to meet me quarter of the way on a 3 hour drive. 😆
