Looks OK, but as is often the case, theyve bunged eye-candy like
suspension forks and a front disk on it at the expense of other
components.

Its not possible to see all of the bits, but of those that are
listed, I note that the gear shifters are very basic, with a single
up/down action, and the front one isnt indexed.

This means that for rear changes you click the lever to the required
position (which may mean lifting your hand from the bars) whereas for
the front its just like in the old days with a friction-locked lever
which you move to the correct point by feel.

Not too big a problem for what you want, and the rest of the bike
looks OK for that price.

Ignore all the you need something a bit less shite posts. From your
previous questions and the discussions ensuing its clear that you
dont. But better gearchanges would be worth looking for.
