MRI-
Absolutely love it. It's not going to compete with a modern carbon road bike for out and out speed up hill but it's still plenty fast enough. But it's a joy to ride and just puts a smile on my face. I've done quite a few longer rides on it now and it's renewed my enjoyment of road riding which was waning in recent years. And I'm also loving the simplicity of 1x.
I'm really happy to have it as my only road bike.
TL:DR - get one.

Take a look at the All City Zig Zag.
Essentially a road bike but with clearance for 35c tyres can handle the odd light excursion off tarmac too.
