Thanks. I kinda like it.

It's a 1994 that still had the store price tags and tire nubbies on it when I bought it at a garage sale a year and a half ago. It sits in between an LBS bike and an X-mart bike in terms of build quality, but I've been doing little upgrades here and there. I got a new wheel set this winter, and now the new seat. My LBS says it's a good, solid frame, the drivetrain components are working okay (although I wouldn't rule out a future upgrade), and the more I ride this bike, the more it becomes an extension of me. I do most of my miles on this bike (since most of my riding is commuting).
