The Bruzza looks like a bike I wouldn't mind having. Personally I'd swap the Hayes mechs for a set of Avid mechs. The Hayes are OK from what I've heard but I can attest to the Avid's power and control. One thing I spotted: The cassette is a 11 - 30T which means that it's range is 11 teeth to 30 teeth. Personally I prefer an 11-32T for that little bit of extra thrust in the granny. I'd recommend a SRAM 5.0 in that range. It's not too cheap but it won't kill you. (I'm using one on my commuter.) Alivo stuff is OK considering the frame is worth upgrading. (components do wear out).

As for it being a decent bike: I've never seen one personally but I hear good things.
