"I did a quick search on Craigslist over the weekend, and fell into last year's dream bike. I picked up an old steel frame Diamondback Topanga for $50.00."

That's almost exactly what I'm attempting to do with the Giant Acapulco I found on a yard sale this summer. Yours looks great. Mine has a ways to go.

Best of luck on the commute.
