You guys might be right, especially since I overestimated the price difference.
I found this thing in a big chain for about 410 dollars, it comes from Merida which to my understanding is a reliable manufacturer and the only real difference is rim breaks instead of disc breaks, some sort of seat suspension thing I've never seen before and narrower wheels.
Are cheap bikes from reliable companies any better? this one specifically is marketed as a 'city bike'.
