Here are the boxes it checks for me:
1) 1x Crank
2) Disc brakes (rainy state + in ground sprinklers hit the trail I ride on in the am when it's dry out, causing puddles.)
3) 8sp IGH - I may just be a little disenchanted with my derailleur situation right now but have nothing but good things about IGHs
4) Straight bars/Flexibility in tire choice (the tires which come stock look neat as well)
I take it as a compliment from you that you agree with my idea of what's a cool bike to aspire toward!
