...to search for a commuter and a get off my but and do something bike i have stumbled across this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=250236618997&_trksid=p3984.cWAT.m240.lVI and the nice thing is the seller is local so shipping disapears and i might even be able to check out the bike.

in general: Pros and Cons? over all opinions on the bike.

about my plan.
this will stat as a fitness bike as the stationary at the gym is so boring, so i am going to start off by riding around locally until i get my bike legs back under me (used to ride a lot of single trrack in college a few years back) then would like to move to commuting. my commute by car is about 11 miles each way but i think i can cut it to about 8 or 9 each way on a bike. would be mostly street and bike path with some possible off the bike trail for a few seconds type of packed dirt transitions.

I haven't seen one in person, but here's an older review (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=203588) on the bike on the forums.

With disc brakes, it can be difficult finding racks that would work with it, but there are a few mentioned in that review that should work with it.
