Nice bike- mine took about a week and a half from the time I ordered it to arrive. Assembly is easy, but adjusting the brakes and shifters can take some time. Once adjusted, it works very well- it shifts smoothly, and rides fairly easily. My complaints are these:
1) Comes with cheesy pedals- I replaced them with these (9/16" threads): http://www.amazon.com/Diamondback-Sound-Pedal-Black-Alloy/dp/B001C3GJ22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1284868963&sr=8-1
2) Brake levers are plastic, and the pivot point is a rivet, not a bolt. They feel a bit flimsy, but work fine.
3) The seat height is a bit low. I'm fairly average-sized (5'8"), and I have to raise the seat to the absolute maximum to be comfortabe.
4) The front wheel is ever so slightly warped- doesn't really affect anything, really.
Overall, a good bike for the price.
