had one for about 3 years. is my first ‘proper’ modern road bike. had a 1989 raleigh and a steel fixed wheel before.
not much to compare to it but i like it. stems are on the long side for the bikes, so if you are at the shorter end of the fit you may need to size down.
the bar tape is also the cheapest thinnest stuff i’ve ever seen (nice for racing maybe? but not good for training.)
ritchey wheels seem to have a bad rep for spokes unwinding but mine are bang on after thousands of miles and generally not being looked after too well, jumping off kerbs etc.
not sure the brakes have clearance for guards.
