I own a Type 1 (Los Angeles). The bike serves its purpose just fine. The components are obviously low-end but have held up well. If you intend to put a decent amount of mileage or mileage in wet weather, you should set aside some money for a few upgrades, I imagine. I'm happy with my bike, but be aware that they low-ball the weight at 22lbs. Mine came in at an even 26lbs for a 50cm.
