Just wanted to show you guys my new ride, I know it doesn't compare to what some of you have, but since my daily commute is only around 4 miles, I figure this would do the job?!
Living in Japan does present a few problems...one of them is finding the right size bike

Sure you have imports, but they tend to cost an arm and a leg!
I went to my LBS, rode on a few and this was the most comfortable for me and for around 330us$ I couldn't pass it up...and yes it is made in China
Anyway here are the pics...
