I know I've been making a bunch of these threads lately, it's because my current commuting bike (crappy xmart mountain bike) is falling apart and I need something else to get me around, but I'd also like something I can take on fairly long pleasure rides. but the most important thing right now is to get something I can count on for commuting.

Anyways, what can anyone tell me about this bike and if it's worth buying, and how much would you pay for it? From what I've looked up it seems like a decently nice one but I want you guys' opinions. It's in my size ballpark (haven't actually seen it in person yet) so I'm hoping this might be a keeper.
