I have some upgrades to make on it (the front shock leaks oil, the pedals bite, the derailleurs could use some lightening, and the gears
need to be changed). Overall though, it's been a dream. I ride to school and around campus (it's about two miles from one end to the other which I sometimes do twice or three times a day) so it's seen a lot of abuse on a daily basis. The weekends aren't any better. I get to go trail riding once I can ride down to the lakes near here. I'm pretty sure that I've put about three times as many miles on my bike as I have my car
. The only caveat is that this is my first "nice" bike, so I haven't really had a chance to compare and contrast. But, final verdict: whole lotta kickass.
