It's Reflective!
Nice frame at a nice price and just like described in the listing, except they didn't mention it has very subtle, black colored decals that are also reflective. That's awesome! I would've jumped on the deal even quicker if I knew that beforehand.
I'm a commuter that often rides at night, and even though I have a good dynamo light set, every little bit extra helps me feel safer in traffic. These frame decals are black and sort of a satin finish, barely noticeable during the day, but very reflective at night. Well integrated into the frames look, and the top tube decal will even double as a frame protector when resting it against bike racks.
Excellent attention to detail for a commuter frame.
Excellent quality, perfect fit. It's much more thorough and quicker than some repair kit. The little bit of steering slop my car had was just the rag joint, and the quality of this one looks like it will last just as long as the original 1983 part.

Great upgrade from square taper.
Since the new bike market is moving away from square taper, it's getting more difficult to find a high quality, affordable, square taper bottom bracket. It's the same old song, only I'm not going to sing it, I'm just going with the flow.
I'm a heavy rider (fat&muscly) and I destroy the low priced square taper bottom brackets, which was what my commuter bike had, although my mountain bikes have had external for years now. I'm not so hung up on square taper than I'll spend nearly what this entire crank cost on just a fancy bottom bracket.
Found this little gem of a deal, and now my commuter bike has a much stronger bottom end. Whoever says square taper cranks don't have discernible flex doesn't weigh nearly 300lbs. Baahhh!
