I'm still quite happy with it. The frame and parts are not high-end, but have held up quite well. I can run through the things I've done with it:
1. New handlebar. Straight bars are tough on my wrists, and I've installed a FSA Metropolis swept bar and shorter stem.
2. Narrow-wide chainring. The bike was dropping its chain rather frequently, and the narrow-wide solved that problem completely.
3. Replaced worn out chain and cassette "on schedule" relative to typical lifespan of those components.
