My brother ordered one of these, arrived last Friday and after I got home from OT work (8:30 PM) we built it up. VERY nice bike, and literally over half what a specialized/Trek of the same component set will cost (making even a bike shop set-up worth it). It definitely needs a FULL set-up, but at the price, even throwing another $100 or so for a bike shop set up is WORTH IT! He took it for a spin finally today (weather has either HOT or windy here) and he said it rides real nice. Tell ya, if I needed a bike of this type (and I dont...) I would buy one in a heartbeat. Same quality as the specialized/trek, with a really good component set at half the cost or less. Gorgeous bike, its a white pearl coat, looks very very nice in person
