June 2018 and bike still puts a smile on my face and has had no issues. Finish on frame is holding up nicely with all the foliage rubbing and no scratches. Rear tire is showing signs of wear so I am shopping for tires. The Maxxis Rekons are good to excellent IMHO but Maxxis replacements are expensive so I am looking and may go from 2.8 to 3. The shimano steps drive system is great. I am very satisfied and would never think about going back to a non-assist mtb bike.
