Been looking for a first bike/commuter for work with more of an endurance geometry. This one looks ideal, what do you think?

You’ll need a longer stem to balance out the twitchy handling, otherwise it’s a commuter’s dream.
Perfect commuter if you live on the north side of a velodrome and work on the south side.
Saddle is too low
As long as there is no traffic at all, including all kind of animals, on your way it’s perfect.
Seat needs to be higher. Ergonomics are all wrong.
Seems ideal. You can mount at least 6 Varias on that seatpost.
True gravel riders know
The stem is too short!
Yeah it is a good KOMmuter
YASSSS qween
It’s not, at all. It’s a dedicated track racing machine. The seatpost is obviouisly intended to be cut down but even sized right it’s an aggressive fixed gear track bike (no coasting, no brakes except your resistance against the rear wheel)
That said, if you actually raced track, for a TK1 in great shape with carbon wheels and handlebars that aren’t the sphinx, it’s not a bad price.
I’d get rid of those spacers in the steerer tube, personally. Get that slick, slammed look.
Only if you know a good chiropractor!
It is brilliant for traffic because as soon as you sit up, you have the same seat height and visual viewpoint as a large SUV or an f-150.
Just needs reflectors on the wheels and an Avocet 20
Perfect clearances for a gravel route to work.
Built for bikepacking. Biggest saddle bag capacity.
Not without pedals its not
Needs a light
BCJ is leaking

I can feel my back is aching. Seriously, I am shocked the seat post can go this far.
This you?
That’s the dumbest unicycle I’ve ever laid eyes on
Gonna have a hard time getting aero with the seat so low
Your local mechanic should be able to raise it a couple feet for you for a modest fee
If you could raise the seat up about a foot higher, yes.
Sorry, only interested in used if the seat post has never been cut

Only if you’re into comfort
