This is my commuter bike and I love it. The internal hub, fenders, and the aesthetic styling are all wonderful.
I wish the chainguard had more coverage and while the seat has a cool blinking light, it had a structural failure while I was riding it (no fun).
Biggest drawback (aside from the seat mfg. quality) was the lack of a rack or dropouts, although new Milanos allow that as an option (unfortunately without the internal hub).
