All City is also QBP, along with Surly and Salsa. From what I see, they look like good bikes. On paper, the Space Horse looks like it could be built up as a nice commuter. Test ride one and let us know what you think.

Edit: I own a Salsa Casseroll, which looks pretty similar to the All City Space Horse. If I were looking for a new bike today, the Space Horse, Mr. Pink, and Surly Pacer would be on my short list.
