Is anybody familiar with Mt Shasta bikes? I found out they were a lower sub brand of GT, but not sure if it's worth buying for light use on city trails and light gravel trails. I need an XL frame and am looking for something cheap for exercise. I am worried its the equivalent to a Walmart bike and will fall apart on me. Too much mixed information online.
Spec sheet attached

I’m not terribly familiar with the brand, I refurbished one a couple years back, don’t remember much about it but it was a true “bike”, not a “bike- shaped-object.” Based off the spec sheet the brand was selling bike-store quality bikes, not bottom tier Walmart bikes.
This model though was their lowest end bike. It has a lower- end frame, only one tube is chromoly, the rest are likely heavy high- tensile steel. Parts are pretty low-end, especially the steel rims, aluminum rims are lighter and brake better.
