I would recommend the Classic Plus to entry level commuters, it's got all the right specs, though it's not the first of it's price point with those specs. The hard part when trying to help my non-cyclist friends pick out a bike is convincing them that they want a single speed. So I let them get a bike with a derailleur and next season it's all fucked up and they haven't bothered to fix it. "I've been meaning to get to it" they say. But they don't get to it. This has happened on 3 separate occasions. Low maintenance is really important for entry level daily commuters.
