I have a couple thousand miles on it and am starting to hear squeeks and other noises that were not there before. It might just be my 55 year old knees, but I am going to lube the bottom bracket and seat post to see if that is where there noise is coming from.

\nShifting and breaking are still flawless. I could not have done this ride on any other biked I have ever owned!
My alloy Grade had a squeaky headset. I took it apart and thoroughly lubed the whole unit then reassembled and it has been quiet since then (knock on wood). I also get a lot of noise from the Selle Anatomica saddle, but it's so comfy I'm willing to put up with it. Agree about the strengths of the bike. Even the aluminum frame is smooth and stable. Makes me wish they made a steel version
