Well, since it was my first time riding it today, I don't have much perspective. So far, so good. Built up very nicely with no problems. They redid the rear disc brake mount so no issues getting the rack and fenders to fit. Did have to do a little bending on the front fender stays to clear the front disc brake. One thing that bugs me is the unused top tube cable stops for the rear canti brakes. I think they should have left them and the rest of the rear canti braze-ons off for a cleaner look. I mean they have a canti version of the frame if you want to run cantis. Also it looks very purple in person, so if that is going to bother you, I would try something else.
