The Priority 600 is the least expensive way in the U.S. to buy a new Pinion gearbox bike. It is solid, smooth, and practically bombproof. One thing to keep in mind is that it runs with 650b rims/tires, which is increasingly popular for urban/dirt cruising, but has only one studded tire option that I am aware of (Suomi A10) for your winter riding.
