As much as a pain as it was to get the bike, now that I have it I really like it. It rides great. I had cannondales before this, and I have to say I do like the ride of the steel on this bike. Only issue with the actual bike was one of the pedals actually snapped in half on the downstroke within the first 20 miles of use, but I didn't plan on keeping the pedals anyway since they are so obviously pieces of junk. The toe clip basically ripped the pedal in half. The bike required a little adjusting of the front brake and derailleur, but other than that it has been great. I've added a brooks b17 and have had a very comfortable daily commute.
