I've recently wrenched together not one but two Nashbar FB-1 bikes. I bought the 51cm model for my wife and I assembled my brother's wife's 54cm unit. Both went together nicely and both wives are loving the bikes. My wife is a regular rider of a regular road bike, a mountain bike and the stoker position on our road tandem. The FB-1 will serve as her knock-about ride. I wrote a fairly comprehensive review on the Nashbar FB-1 on Epinions.com that you can find here:

I also wrote a review on the very similar Performance Bicycle Scattante FR-330 here:

Would like to know how your sentiments are similar or different.
