$1479 and a claimed 34 pounds for that bike? I guess because it is something not common but the parts I don't think add up to that amount. Plus I am doubtful of the 34 pound claim, it just seems really light for what it is.
Certainly if the bike is comfortable for you and works for you go for it but I think it might be heavier than claimed and certainly should be a bit cheaper or have nicer parts on it beyond the Alfine 11 hub for the price. It doesn't even have hydraulic brakes which can be done very cheaply from Shimano or Tektro or you can get excellent mechanicals from TRP or Avid in their BB7s.
