I agree with Jimc101 regarding the wheels if you are going to primarily use it as a commuter, bombing down hill I would be more cautious though. A well-built set of 32h wheels can be better than than a lesser quality set of 36h. Also, the lockout on the fork is a big advantage for road use and most of the components look fine, but again, I would look for tires that are lighter and can take a bit higher pressure like 29x2.2 Maxxis-Ikon-Exo or you can go with 29x2.0/2.35 Schwalbe Big Apples which are a bit heavier but cheaper.

I use a MagicShine MJ-808 headlight because there is nothing brighter for the price but I also hava a Blackburn Flea 2.0 that works very well for a smaller light.
