Not great for commuting due to lack of eyelets but makes for a great gravel adventure bike otherwise. With a spare set of wheels and tires for the road it's almost as fast and nimble as a road bike.
I haven't gotten to take it on a longer ride yet, just my short commute to work but I love it so far. Very light and fast even though I've got 35mm gravel tires on it. I just need a rack for it. Luckily it does have eyelets for one but the used racks at the community bike shop didn't fit. I picked up two bags at a thrift shop I'm hoping to make into panniers.
