I just ordered it. Figured I couldn't go wrong with the price; even if I end up replacing the wheels and some other components I'll still come out ahead, since all of the other bikes I was considering are in the $800 range.
Right away I'm going to put different wheels and some slicks on it. Then I'll ride it for a while and see if any other changes need to be made. I'll probably get a powdercoat on it as well, because I think the decals are kind of obnoxious.
Once I get it and have ridden it a bit I'll report back.
