, commute to work.  So far it's been a real wkhsroroe, and of course I've fitted a lot of new stuff to it, (fenders, lights, back rack etc). My only issue so far has been a  stiff link  which was soon fixed by the local bike shop for the princely sum $5, other than that it hasn't put a foot wrong. It has been able to handle my 6'2  245lb frame no problems, (actually started out at 263lbs, but that's just a nice side effect of the ride), and there is still some room for upward adjustment of the seat post and handlebars. The suspension, (which I had until now regarded as a gimmick), has enough give to level out most bumps in the road, as does the suspension on the seat post. But neither feels too loose with just the right amount of rigidity for control. The stock seat isn't the most comfortable in the world, (didn't expect it to be), but is easily replaced. As with any bike some assembly is required, but this should take someone with even the most basic mechanical aptitude and tool kit only about 30 minutes to an hour. (Have a good set of Allen wrenches available). Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase, and would recommend this bike wholeheartedly to a commuter or casual road rider.
