Thanks! It's turning out to be a sweet commuter/beater also

As for frame bag- I have this one and it rocks. You can't beat this deal.

I have an avenir widemouth under the seat bag and although I like the top-tube bags I'll probably end up getting one of those lunchpail-looking handlebar bags to fit a couple more things. I also like my cheapo nashbar waterproof panniers so far. Overall I'm pretty happy with everything, but so far I do hate the seat. I have an old WTB plastic one to try and next it's probably, yes, scraping up the money for the Brooks. Unless of course you're feeling generous enough to send that abhorrent piece of rubbish to a stranger across the pond, Nigeeyy
