I couldn't start commuting with it yet as the project I'm working on is at the close out stage and it requires me to move from office to job site, back and forth. However, I took it for a short 8 mile ride on saturday with my son (in his trailer) on tow. I have to say, for the money I spent on it, it seems to be a very good deal. I'm still trying to get used to the strange-to-me shifters of SRAM, but as with most PB bikes it does not seem to be tuned well. I'm getting the odd chain rub even though there is no evident cross chaining. (I will have to check it alone as I noticed that I used to have more chain rub than usual when my son's trailer was in tow on the MTB as well. Perhaps I really need to replace the standard rear skewer with the one that came with his trailer). The microshift front derailleur seems to be working pretty good actually, at least better than i expected it to work. There is some break squek on the front but braking performance was not that bad with the trailer. I will replace them with Kool Stop Salmons at not-too-distant future though. The fenders (they're plastic a bit flimsy looking) work very good. We've crossed a couple of sandy/packed dirt areas as well as some rain water streaming on our trip and my son did not get water spray from the rear wheel, neither did he get showered with fine sand and dirt in his trailer. If you take the wheels off and put them back on make sure to check they don't rub the fenders though, as they are plastic, and the stabilizers (?? the metal tubes/sticks that connect them to the frame) move almost freely on the fenders, they are easy to move/twist.

For what I paid, I consider it to be a very good value. I'd recommend it if you are in need of a decent commuter. What I need now is a decent pair of panniers that would haul my clothes and the monster of a laptop I have to keep carrying to and back to work due to the security (or lack of) at the job site. I looked at the REI brand Novara Transfer Panniers (http://www.rei.com/product/780451) and thought they may be a good value (after my dividends and 20% off), but the bloody laptop still does not fit :sigh:

I'll try to update this as I put on more miles on it.
