Oops, just read you bought the Eastside. Oh well, below was my two cents...

I own a Fyxation Eastside. I bought it as a complete bike with delusion that I'd have it as a "beater" bike, and never upgrade the components until they either fell apart or got stolen. However, after the first ride I had to change the wheels and crankset. Despite my original resolve to not replace anything, they were so bad I just had to, or else I'd never ride the bike because I was hating it. The wheels weigh about 3.5 lbs each, and the crankset is about as stiff as an aluminum pie plate. So if you're still thinking about the Eastside, be prepared to replace at least the wheels and the crankset.
