I have about 2500 miles on a scott sub 20, modified for commuting (fenders, rack, shimano generator hub, and 12-19 cluster). No complaints other than I should have gone with the 700C wheels rather than the 26-inch. It goes fast, it goes slow, rain, snow, sun, and I can load the crap out of it without any problems or concerns. My commute is 6 mi (9 km) each way. I tend to ride other bikes when it is nice out and I don;t have a heavy load, but that shouldn;t take away from the utility of the thing.
I looked at the Sub 10, but for less than half the price, the sub 20 works fine.
