Interesting. Have you ridden it? How does it feel?
It's really quite like a lot of commuting bikes out nowadays--quickish geometry, flat bars, no suspension, and disc brakes. I've done long rides on flat bars (40+ miles) and havn't had problems, but I'm sure that just depends on the person. I'm young and supple : ) .
Overall it looks good, particularly if your commute is relatively flat. As someone above me wrote, the single ring in front might impair your hill climbing. It depends on your commute, your load, and what kind of shape you're in.
But could someone please explain the shape of the frame to me? Particularly the top tube
. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, I just don't understand it.
