Good, but could be a little less 'springy'
This out front mount for Lezyne GPS's fits well to the bars, is very secure, and holds the GPS unit very well, possibly even too well. I guess it's springiness helps absorb road buzz/shocks to the GPS unit, and the locking system is very secure, all this means is that it is slightly difficult to get the GPS unit in and out - the mount flexes so 2 hands are needed. I guess it will become easier over time, and it is only a minor niggle, not worth dropping a star for!

Cheap as chips, but requires tyres and TLC!
Firstly, if you're not mechanically sound with cycles, don't buy this bike unless you can get a cycle shop to check it out for you. I think these come straight from the factory into your home and as such have no PDI and/or quality control could be better. But then, what do you expect for £150?
Out of the box I had to tighten some spokes, grease and adjust a wheel cone bearing, and later the left pedal crank arm had to be Loctite'd on (used 243). I also sprayed some penetrating grease into the frame hinge, but I would have done this anyway. I also replaced the saddle post with one of 350mm length to try and better emulate my road bike positioning. So, if you're mechanically minded, a bit of TLC will have this up and running decently. BUT......
I cannot stress this enough... BUY NEW TYRES !
I had a puncture in the first week of commuting, the following Mon, Tues, and Wed (3 days) I had 4 (four!) punctures. The tyres supplies are really just inner tubes with treads on them, but I guess this is an area where they've saved costs - a set of 26x1.5 Schwalbe Marathons or such will be fine (under £30).
It's now a great winter commuter bike - a little heavy but comfortable to ride, the gear shifting was surprisingly good at this price, and it folds nicely to fit just inside the doors of my local commuter trains.
