I got this bike used, as a trade for two other bikes. It was not rideable. I've since swapped virtually every part except the handlebars and the brakes, and added the Brooks saddle. Most recently, I've traded the carbon cross fork or a proper Surly fork. The bike is fun, fast and very, very comfortable. So comfortable, I'm starting to look up ultra distance events.
Update:
I had a bombproof rear wheel built I also rode my first Century on this bike.
