^Also true. And after a quick look through the London, Ontario classifieds, it doesn't look like there's much in the way of commuter bikes. Truth be told, I wouldn't feel at all guilty advising you to snag it up and throw some slicks on it. If you were so inclined, you could always put a taller stem and some more road-oriented rims on it and it would make up for its stock deficiencies as a commuter, but if your a relatively healthy guy then I doubt it will be much of an issue.
