The only things "wrong" with it are the smooth tires and the road pedals...
oh, and it's too clean, but so beautiful I'd have a hard time getting it dirty.

Yes, the bike gets TLC and stays on good quality and well maintained gravel or on pavement. It's as fast as a road bike with the Parigi-Roubaix slicks but has super smooth ride on rough surfaces. If I need to go off-road on grass or mud, I use a modern plastic Cyclocross bike.
