I've had mine for a couple of weeks and love it! Decent frame and wheelset. Rear hub is a flip/flop with a S/S 16T standard, front ring is 48T. The frame is Al with an Al fork. Good value for the money with decent components and comes with front and rear brakes. Light and quick and the build quality is first rate. Can't expect too much for around $400.00 assembled and backed by your LBS.
Some people have mentioned bikes from IRO Cycle. I built up their Al model and love it too. It could run you more but that's what happens when you customize.
Good luck on your search.
