took it out for a 1 speed spin a little earlier and its a dream so far. a little stiffer than an older 531 frame i had but certainly comfy. plus if anyone is wondering, if you are extremely careful i think you could get 35's on it with fenders. i had a 35 on the back while fooling with the bike. i will be running 32's and its nice there is plenty of room for them.
