It has served me tremendously, but gotta let it go to make space for a bike for the missus.
I put all black parts on it to make the brown frame less dull. The SA hub makes it a no-fuss, low-maintenance workhorse. Dynamo powered lights means you never need to worry about recharging your lights, or batteries, or worse: losing or having the lights stolen... and the wiring is fully internal.
It's a great commuter, and because the frame is scuffed up, you don't have to be precious about it. The fenders will keep the skunk line off of your back... and you can carry a tremendous load on the front rack.
