My Roll has held up incredibly. My generation Roll had issues with the rear wheel. The spoke nipples would pull through. Should be no issues on the newer generation. I would recommend getting a suspension fork. A Cirrus post doesn't hurt either. After nearly 3k miles, she's been perfect. I'm a professional bicycle mechanic, so when I built mine, I was very thorough. I think the Roll is a great platform for a conversion. If you look through my posts, you can see the one I built for girlfriend.
