The older I get, the better the better those lowered top tubes look. After spending a year with a w-i-d-e-l-y s-p-a-c-e-d 7 speed folder, I think I could be perfectly happy with a 1x with a big spread and 8 or 9 gears. Also with a 1x a disk or fairing could be added to keep the chain off a pant leg.
And with enough eyelets for fenders and a rack, I would definitely consider this bike (and others similar to it) if I am ever fortunate enough to once again have an in-office job to commute to.
