I rode it around the parking lot and its very relaxed fit bike but not so relaxed you cannot get power to the pedals. The component package is what you would expect for a 550.00 dollar bike. The disc brakes are a bit small for my taste but I am influenced by mountain biking but they stop the bike with plenty to spare. I did not do a spoke count but guessing 36. The shock absorbing seat post is a gimmick and will eventually fail but I doubt he even notice when it does. He did upgrade the pedals to welgo bmx style for grip, he may change the seat and grips but time will tell. Of course not built for speed but like any bike you get out of it what you put in so getting a good workout is at your fingertips. It is a beefy, solid bike with decent components. I'd give it a 9 out of 10 for a bike in that class.
