Never heard anything bad about them unless you're expecting big power or happen to be very tall. They're also pretty cheap and a good bike to start on if you don't have much riding experience as they're not likely to get you in trouble.

i believe that was with the V45's and not with the V30's

i may be wrong. mine had 15k when i bought it and ... 15k when i sold it... so i never really got a chance to wear it out
