That’s a beauty. What’s the make/model? Can’t make out the logo from the picture

Info and my assessment. What I like about it first: Only 13 kg, butted steel frame, disc brakes, rear rack, upright posture, comfortable handle bar, pretty and classic design, fenders, shiny color, and a low price of $300-ish. And the horizontal tube in the middle of the frame would make it comfortable to carry up and down the stairs. My dislikes and worries: The fork looks thin, could it get bent? The disc brakes are cable, not hydraulic. No frame mounted front rack. Only 7 gears. I’m used to 1.75 inch wide tires, but these are 700c x 32c. Are those thin wheels able to handle the extra weight from my shopping (15kg-ish box plus I’m 78kg)? And it’s made by a very small company, a one-man show I believe. For more details, the website is in Korean but it has plenty of pics. https://lomotive.com/product/2024-%EB%A1%9C%EB%93%9C%EB%A7%A8-%ED%8B%B0%ED%83%84-%EC%8B%A4%EB%B2%84%ED%81%B4%EB%9E%98%EC%8B%9D-%EC%9E%90%EC%A0%84%EA%B1%B0/3667/category/44/display/1/?page_4=2#use_review.

I have a priority classic with tires and wheels like those. I do worry sometimes about load capacity but haven’t had a problem on my mostly smooth commute. One flat from a giant pothole and one broken spoke that I believe was a manufacturer defect. (The nipple threads were stripped.)

But that is a sweet looking ride.
