I've had this bicycle for a week now(Road Bike Price:around $220). For starters, the bike looks great. I've already had a couple compliments on the looks of it. As far as the bike itself, you get what you pay for. This bike when I purchased was under 500. The bike is pretty heavy, and as advertised a single speed. If you have not cycled in a while(or years in my case), up hills can be pretty brutal. If on a flat road down hill this bike can be very fast.

As others have stated, the brakes are TERRIBLE. I've upgraded my brake pads to some Aztec2's which have improved my stopping ability, though still not great. Though most people have stated the brakes to be the primary problem, this is not even close to mine. The seat is a "rectum probe" and is VERY PAINFUL to ride on for more than 30 mins at a time(I am 5'11", 200lbs). No cushion, very long and thin(pain). In fact my arse hurts as I type this from taking a 20 minute ride earlier this evening. I've ordered a memory foam seat from Amazon that is supposed to have much better cushioning and width.
The bike I've very much enjoyed thus far, and think I will enjoy even more once my new bike seat comes in. I felt the need to focus on the brakes and seats as I believe many that order this bike have or will replace both at some point(so plan on spending a few extra bucks on top of the bike cost).
This is my first road bike and I'm pleased thus far. If you'd like to see what my bike looks like as of today, I had a pic up under the bike with my 6 or so upgrades. It looks great, rides good on the road, and it didn't cost me half a grand just to take a casual ride. I'd recommend this bike certainly.
