1. What make/model is your bike? 2009 Schwinn GS

2. How long have you had it? 13 months

3. Where did you purchase it? Norris Schwinn, Johnson City, TN

4. What accessories have you added to it? Planet Bike front and back fenders, Racktime rack and Doubleit pannier, front and back lights, copious amount of reflective tape

5. What accessories do you WANT to add to it? A back light that mounts directly on the Racktime rack.

6. What type of bike do you eventually want to purchase as your primary commuter? I've been wanting a steel bike for a while now. I'd also like to have a hybrid with some good componentry, maybe like a Giant Rapid 1 or a Trek 7.7 FX. Not sure how much actual commuting I'd do with either. The Schwinn, while only $330, is a perfect beater commuter that seems like a glutton for punishment. If something happened to it, I'd probably try to find a steel replacement with upright geometry.
