In the past they had issues but it seems like they have taken care of things. Not exceptional bikes but functional and certainly better than some other similar sort of wannabe stuff with even lower end components. However if it has an IGH and was made in the past 5 years or so it should have a belt drive from Gates. I get an IGH for low maintenance so why are you giving me a chain that I have to maintain and replace more often?
Brooklyn folks are pretty easy to deal with as well so you should be able to have fun on your bike and get support when needed which is great. I do wish they would do a step through 9 speed equipped bike with the swept back bars they use on the Lorimer.
