Is it a good SS for a newbie? I don't know much about the quality of the components...
The IRO completes are better than Bikesdirect. They're more on par with the kind of off the shelf SSFG bikes you'd get from a bike shop. What's nice about the IRO bikes is that you can choose things like rim color, handlebar type and stuff right when you order.
