Here's the info on the bike....

It's a good bike at a good price. Nothing really wrong with it. Not quite as good as a Surly but it's less expensive. I'd put it in the same class as the Trek 520 for a whole lot less. It's nice to see that they have used the Deore trekking crank. It's easy to drop the gearing to a 22 or even a 20 tooth inner if you want lower gears.
