Tramp is right, I have one an use it to commute to work everyday.
One bike for everything? Not sure if that is the best way forward, but if you can only have one bike this is one that will do everything you ask it for.... but:
- I would like some wind protection and a comfier seat for the road.
- I would like proper knobblies and shorter gearing for the trails.
I use it mainly in the road, so I use K60s. If I had fitted knobblies they would have been of no use off road now and I have just been twice in the trails since last tyre change.
I am thinking about buying a cheap comfortable road bike for the commute, but I will be sad if I see this great bike not being used.

Only 500 miles??? It would be rude not to buy that if you are looking for one.
