This looks like the kind of bike that gets hung on a wall of a downtown C-suite office. I can imagine someone ripping through traffic on this while wearing a suit, or terrorizing the local MUP on weekends. In reality those tires and carbon rim-brake wheels would compromise it as a commuter, and the flat bar compromises it as a go-fast road bike.

It's the perfect road bike for people who don't want to look like a road cyclist, and also don't really ride that much.
