Actually, that nice green Priority has an Alfine 11 speed, so at the very least it could be a great commuter/ pavement light tourer, for drop bar fans. 40c tires are not bad all rounders. It does seem to have toe overlap, even without fenders.
Zero worry about broken spokes. And it's at least possible to switch to Rohloff14. Full cable TRP brakes would be far simpler. I actually met a guy once that had used a R14 on an SE Asian tour and decided he didn't like it. He bought this A11 and crossed the states.
This is at least as good as ANY stupid 1x or Surly Midnight Special. Their steep slope half frames are completely NUTS anywhere but Martian gravel. HORRIBLE for mounting racks and bottles. Surly's are near $2,800 now, may as well get a R14 that lasts FOREVER.
Trouble with Priority Pinion frames, is they are so dumbly sloped also.
MTBs have NO business being used for most commuting.
