Good rack (like the attachment points for bungees, overlooked on a lot of racks), good trunk, like the bar ends. I'm not a fun of computers myself, but to my mind, it speaks to being serious about cycling. Not that one can't be without it, mind you! Just that it is an indicator that the rider probably is.
I too, usually don't aesthetically like sloping top tube bikes, but something about the design and size of this one is okay. I'll actually give you points for the shot as well, it's not a scenic picture, but it is at work, framed interestingly, and your kids contribution is a nice touch.
What's the little pouch just behind the stem? Battery box for front light?
Yep, battery for front light. Agree about the dork disk .. if it is the one between the cassette and the wheel, I'm keeping it. I try to do my own maintenance and am not good enough to confidently remove it.
