Albz: Don't try to save money when buying a bike. You'll get far less hassle and far longer enjoyment out of a good quality bike, even if it means that the initial outlay is greater. With the Create, you won't spend as much at the initial purchase, but guaranteed more as you're gradually forced to replace all the failed components with decent quality. Plus, they're really not fun to ride--they ride a bit like a blancmange on a bad hair day. Avoid. And follow the advice in clefty's succinct post above--it's all the info that you need in a nutshell.
