moving target
after a few years, not to hot. i keep it inside but i have lived in some humid places and ride in the rain, (seattle, san fran, south east) it is a bit prone to rust if you scratch the clear coat at all.
I have owned some much older steel bikes that didn't give me nearly as much grief.

Ok,, I have used this bike to commute for 2 yrs. (30 miles rt)
Good
Affordable
Helped me lose 45 lbs
Stylish
Rims/hubs have held up
Bars are comfortable
Bad
Literally broke the bb spindle
Have gone through 2 headsets
Rims were faulty (had 21 flats in one year until I realized they had drilled holes in the side and I kept getting pinch flats.
Saddle wore out after 2 yrs
Had to replace tires with Gatorskins
