There are hundreds of pre-existing threads on this entire topic. Use the search function, it's your friend.
There, now that's been said.
I just picked up the Mercier Kilo TT, and at $350 it's a great bike. I can only imagine the Messenger would be of similar quality; from what I have read here, people who have purchased the Messenger have been happy with it.

Be prepared to replace the wheels. they are junk. I had to get them trued from the get go and they went out of true after a few days. The hub is crap. Otherwise the frame is ok and it did have some quick pick up speed. I think after swapping out parts when the go bad you'd have a decent bike to put around on.
