My new commuter bike...
It's an LLBean Acadia. Which I guess is a schwinn in disguise. I bought it for $200 off CL... I got my gf a matching one from the same guy. I'm really excited. It got great reviews and I can't wait to strip off the back rack, lights, and other stuff from my FELT and put them on this bike.

I have a FELT F35x which is a cross bike that I'm converting into a road bike to potentially race, and that was my all purpose bike. I was hoping to buy a Raleigh Detour 4.5 today, but the guy on craigslist said he was committed to someone else, but he'd call me if the guy low balled him or backed out. So I figured where it was a craigslist transaction I had a 50% chance of getting it. Well the guy who first inquired ended up buying it.
So I'm like ****! So I log on to craigslist 20 minutes after the guy texted me to say he sold it. And I find this hybrid cruiser. He had a matching female version of the bike, and was willing to sell them both for $350. Which is basically the cost of just ONE of these. So he delivers them to my house, I tested them, and payed the man. So far I've gone on two joy rides. Then I took it down to dominos, and bungee strapped the pizza to my back rack that I took off my felt and put on it. And now I'm about to go to a gas station to get a bottle of water. I love this bike. Its the most comfortable bike i've ever had.
