Well, I've been slaving away with my old 12 speed Peugeot but found a deal I couldn't pass up today.
I believe it's a Giant OC3 from last year. I bought it for $200. It's in great shape...the guy I bought it from said he was more into BMX bikes. Looks like I'll have a new commuting bike. :)

I do feel lucky but if it makes you feel better I got my first flat on the ride this evening.

Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come. I've read of others having similar problems with these tires. I guess it has something to do with the rim tape.
