I've talked to quite a few people with BD bikes and they're happy with the decision.
Things I've been told to doublecheck if you buy one:
- Pull the bottom bracket and grease the threads properly. I'm told it's not well greased from the factory.
- Same with canti posts. One guy said his were bone dry.
- Pretty much anything grease-worthy, is what I've been told. Just yank it apart and re-grease it.
- Check torque specs and general tightness of things; don't trust that things were all set up properly at the factory and that things didn't rattle loose during shipping. It's just good practice, whether it's a BD bike or not.
