I think it's a great all-round bike. It's tough, has a comfy hood or drop position, has secondary, inboard, brake levers on the flat section of the bars so you can sit up in traffic. Also, it'll take a full set of mudguards and rack. Swap out the tires and you've got a respectable road bike or a cyclocrosser (which is what it's built for) too.

I switched the bars on my 09 Paddy (were not track bars, but had too short drops) and got a stem to bring the bars up an inch. MUCH better. Fenders, bottle cages and spd clipless makes it a fine all-weather trainer/commuter. Track bars on a city bike are dumb, much less that low.

Drop bar levers on a fairly track-style drop bar makes absolutely no sense to me. Seems like fashion won out over function this year. The riders wrist looks like it would be bent at a pretty severe angle if riding on the hoods, imgaine the pain that position would cause over time. It's a shame, because otherwise they look like solid--if not a little too expensive--bikes. The brake lever position on the paddy, band, and grand wagon just looks odd.
