>>1947078Nah dude. You do not want new 7 speed shimano.
The parts are just too crappy. It also means you get a crappy nutted rear wheel with a threaded cogset. These are prone to bend axles and are extremely low quality.
The decent entry level is 8 or 9 speed with Altus or Acera. Or 9/10 Microshift.
Actually at that price point I would strongly consider used. Also consider women's models if they're in your size. Having a mixte frame or some such is a major advantage on a beater because you can run a tall rear basket and not have to swing a leg over it.
