Well worth it for $200 on sale. This refurbished model was in brand new condition. Was slightly concerned about the weight while loading it into my trunk, but turned out to not be an issue. It rides well. I appreciate the steel frame. Though heavier, I like to think it absorbs more shock than the previous aluminum version. Small negatives - Gear shifting a bit clunky but adequate, paint scratched easily on frame and seat bolts, Allen bolts to secure handlebar loose, requiring tiny wrench to tighten.
