You got us. Everybody but you on this forum are just two guys.
Maybe I'm biased because I have one, but I find these bikes interesting. One of the bikes I currently commute on is a Townie3. If I ever replace it, I'm going to take a serious look at the Townie8 700C.
A concept that some of these bikes have that I find interesting is marrying an IGH rear to 2-3 chainrings in the front.
