I have one. Not that I have anything to compare it with considering this is my first mtb bike. I really like it and have fun with it. Things do break though. My bike still has the original wheels and quick release seat post clamp. I'm getting new wheels next month, which will probally cost more than the original bike was worth. I think I'll keep the seat post clamp just to say it's still stock. I think this bike is the perfect place to start a very unhealthy and expensive addiction. I probably would have suffered fewer injuries and spent less money had I got into crack instead.
