I think it is an intriguing set up. I didn't see what it cost, and I don't know what it weighs, but I'm not in the market for another bike anyway. You can get by with less in a flat area like Phoenix, but if you like it and it fits you and your needs, go for it.
OP, if you get it, I would like to hear a review. Like I said, I'm intrigued, even though I can't explain why.
