Like you stated, it's designed for commuters by giving a more upright riding position.
I prefer this type of geometry....less strain on the back.
Also, the Soho S doesn't have the top tube "bumper", but I think it would be nice if it did. Protects the frame when you lean your bike against something, to lock it up.
These bikes are very hard to find right now. Apparently, it's a pretty popular model of bike!
