It's a fabulous bike, and very smartly designed. I built it up for a 9 month tour across Tibet, India, and Southeast Asia, where it was very much put to the test without any problems whatsoever: www.backintheworld.com

When not on tour, it's also my main ride around town, fitted out with a basket for groceries and 4-legged hitchhikers.
