If you are getting it for a decent price I would say not too shabby. The fork sucks pretty badly and is essentially just a spring with some oil and nothing else too advanced (it does hae a preload). I forget the other parts it has on it but new I believe it was 1700. This bike is not worth that amount. You can currently grab a p2 for 1000 cdn which has almost the same specs (if not better) and the frame is as strong. I would say if you aren't getting it for 1000$ cdn (650ish american) you can definately find other bikes for better prices. Kona stuff for example, Norco has one or two as well.
