My partner bought this Priority Brilliant L-Train 5 years ago. She loves it. The ride is on the sporty side. She's done 30mile + ride with it. It's an Alfine 8-speed with a Gripshift and Gates belt drive. The only maintenance that we've had to do with it is put in new brake pads, otherwise it's been reliable.

Gearing was a little tall for the hillier parts of Washington DC. And I always thought that the ride was a little stiff/wooden for a steel bicycle. But I never figured out if it was the frame or maybe the tires. But that stiffness contributed to the sporty feel of the bike. If we were going to hold onto the bike, I might try swapping in bigger volume tires to see it that helps. But we'll probably be selling this soon as we have too many bikes.

One of your posts suggested that you might be in NJ. We're in Central Jersey. If you have any interest, send me a message.
