i am enjoying mine as well... granted i got it used as a complete bike from a mechanic at my LBS and with that comes some benefits for it servicewise there (not too mention the parts he had on it).
i'm not sure what all the fuss about weight is... if was concerned about weight i doubt id be buying steel. the difference between the pake and an iro could be nixed with a heavy wheelset, or a number of other other combos.
i recognise it aint a flyweight, but its a first fix for the OP and if you've been riding geared beaters (or even entry level geared bikes) the thing will feel light anyways...

I'd be careful. Volvos are nice, but expensive to fix. And you don't want to be seen driving a station wagon, now do you?
