Looks like a pretty sweet cruiser for mostly flat terrain. My Globe Carmel is pretty similar. It's what I started out with a couple of years ago to ease back into shape. Still use it as an errand bike. Solid, stable, very confidence-inspiring, and I took it for several 20-60 mile rides as well, even on some pretty hilly roads.

The Roll dispenses with the suspension fork, which should make it a bit lighter (it adds about 5 lbs to my Globe's front end). And the wider tires should make for a smooth ride without the suspension fork.

And the low entry should be perfect for an errand bike if you decide to use it for grocery shopping runs. Much easier to mount a step-through with a heavily loaded bike. Even a compact frame with sloping top tube still demands a little finesse to mount with 40-50 lbs of groceries.
