I've just got one, though this is a commute bike, so weight isn't a huge worry. it's already got panniers and so on.
gearing is a tad high for pulling away but makes up for it, on wider faster bits of the commute.
the factory tyres have so far resisted glass and thorns which is about as much as one can ask out of cheap factory tyres really.
