I just pulled the trigger on a Priority 600. I've never purchased something where I was cross shopping an item with others that cost 3 times the cost. Compared to every single other pinion gearbox bike out there it is such a good deal, my plan is to ride it and if I don't love it, get a custom (titanium?) frame made and gradually build my dream bike on the pinion/gates platform. In the meantime, I will definitely experiment with changing up the tires and ride this year round in Canada's winter.
