I`ve had my Muirwoods for 3 weeks, about 100 or so miles, and so far I`m really happy with it. Upgraded the saddle to a Brooks Select, the grips to Brooks Plump, and the handlebar to a Salsa Bend 2. The Brooks saddle(especially) and grips were a big improvement - I like the Bend 2 bars but wonder if an On One Mary might be even better. I will probably change the tires to Schwalbe 2" Almotions and add some decent platform pedals with grip. If I change the tires I will have to get another rack as the Tioga rack I have only clears the stock tires by about 1/2 an inch.
