KHS urban uno

I was wondering what people thought of the KHS urban uno. I am interested in using it to commute(15mi round trip), exercise, and general urban travel. What do people think of this bike for these applications. I can get this bike for around 470, is this a quality ride for the money? Are the components any good?

Thanks for any help.

I haven't been on one myself, but they sell tons of them (and also the multi-speed Urban X-Press, and the Urban Soul) to the college students here. If they can't destroy them, they must be pretty good hardware.

If you want the Uno, you'd better jump on it. They've been discontinued. And, yes, I want one myself.
