i've had 2... an '06 stolen in mexico, and LBS hooked up an '07 replacement for super cheap. i dug the '06 more (may have been slightly smaller & it seemed lighter). great cheap bike.
components are iffy at best: the cayne creek headset that comes stock is ****, as are the cog and lockring
(replace before riding if possible). the no-name stock cranks are pretty **** too -- rideable but you'll definitely want to upgrade when you can.
that said, i really think the geometry is great for street riding. definitely more aggressive than my IRO, but a bit less than the pista (no toe overlap FTW). decals come off easily.
it's a singlespeed these days, and is a great 'get around town' whip, i kinda wish i had brought it to japan with me.
oh, yeah and the dropouts are a pain in the ass...
