We purchased ours in 2016. The upgrades really helped. We live in Wellington, NZ so rust can be a problem. Mine gets used much more so when I did the wheelset I replaced the chain, bb,, fw and crankset. For entry level bikes they're good quality. They were about 350 NZD each and probably another 500 NZD in upgrades and accessories for both. They're both a couple rungs up now. W/t upgrades and accessories they'd be about 6-700 each at a lbs.

What happened to your BB? Couldn't the cartrage just be replaced? Nice looking bike, though.
