I've been riding one for a few months, maybe 1500 miles on it so far: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...bsequent-build

It has road-fixed style geometry, I run a road fork and 25c tires. My longest ride on the frame has been 76 miles, it's very comfortable ride.
Good call. I typically ride a 54 but went a size down to 52 with a longer stem. It's a great bike that cost me less than I've paid for a single tubular race tire.
