I've had one for about a month. I bought it during the sale that Texasdiver mentioned (most of their 20% off sales do not apply to bikes but that one did). I wanted a cheap commuter bike to keep the wear and tear off my expensive bikes. The hub is a Nexus 7, not sure why they list it as "Inter-7"? I don't have an REI store within 300 miles so I had mine shipped. It arrived 90% assembled and assembled very well. All I had to do was attach the stem and tweak the brakes. The brakes, seat, seatpost, grips, rear rack are all no-name parts that work surprisingly well. I am well versed in quality bike parts and these are all very usable parts. I thought I'd have to swap the seat out instantly, not so. The only complaint I have is the weight of the bike. It is easily the heaviest bike I own. I pseudo-weighed the bike on my bathroom scale and it came to about 38 lbs. for a size Large. The weight doesn't help on the hills, but for a low mile commute it is very comfy. My commute is 8 miles each way and it is fine. The Nexus is my first IGH and though I've read it is Shimano's low end, it works well though takes some getting used to. I've contacted REI and it looks like whatever stock is in the stores is all they will have for the rest of the year. They are sold out online in all but XL. If you want one, get one quick.
