I had the womens frame single speed version of that bike (The female equivelent to the onyx). It was agreat bike, built pretty darn good for a walmart bike. Light for a cruiser, especially one that size. One thing to keep in mind is that these 29er cruisers are BIG. As in HUGE. They take up much more space than a typical 26" cruiser. Also worth noting is that their handlebars, seatposts and possibly headset/stem are a larger diameter than most bikes, so alot of the more available parts don't fit these frames. In addition to that, the 29er fenders are imposible to find, so if you are customizing them, measure twice, cut once!
I have one that I converted into a skinny tire city cruiser...
the skinnier tires really help make it fly, especially since the stock ones weigh about 5 lbs each!
Had the Astra been available I may have gone toward it simply for the gears...plus the polished frame looks nice. 8)
