That's kind of interesting. Its would certainly check off all the boxes.
I don't like the price, but its heading in the right direction for what would work. I think that 1100 clams for something like that is about
twice of what anyone should pay. For that kind of cash, I could start with the Soma mixte frame and build a really good bike, not just some mass-welded frame with a conglomeration of mediocre parts fastened to it.
