My biggest issue with this bike is that, currently, it isn't available in Canada. It would be a great replacement for my 2012 KHS Tempe, which is still in great shape but I may be losing it to my son. I tend to use the KHS, modified with relatively smooth 700x47 Continental Town and Country tires, for commuting and riding out to the cottage (70km, 45km paved, 25km hard pack to loose gravel) and this bike would be perfectly suited for that type of riding.
