Got mine yesterday - haven't ridden it yet but it is all built up. I also got my bits to make it fixed yesterday afternoon, so I've threaded on the sprocket and lockring, didn't have any problems there either, although the lockring was a little tight - I kept thinking I had cross-threaded it and unscrewing it!
My first impressions are good though, the only weak link (as has been well documented) appears to be the brakes, which feel a little spongy - but then I have been using hydraulic disc brakes on my MTB for the last few weeks. The frame seems especially nice.
Regarding sizing - I called Pearsons to confirm delivery date and he said he was about to call me, and he had a 56cm for me but he could see I had changed to a 54cm. After a bit of a chat, he recommended the 56cm and so I agreed, and I'm glad I did - it is the right size, although I think I could have got away with a 54.
Anyway, nothing but good things to say about Pearsons - bet they got sick of me changing my mind, but they never showed it!
