Normally I am anti-complete. I think they are usually spec'd fine enough but I like too many nicer parts to not want to swap half of it anyway. But these have such nice components that there's not much that even I would want to swap. Usually the biggest disappointment for me is wheels and the new wheels they have are built on my favorite of all affordable hubs and look to be fantastic. If they had thrown the Altus big pulley RD on there I would declare it totally perfect as-is. But for me only one component I am not fond of on a complete is a gigantic win.
Anyway I didn't contribute anything because I am not in the market for one but I gave my two cents anyway. People are going to love these and its two of the best colors.
