You've got a keeper now, enjoy it.
I'm about 6' tall and I was hoping to get an older (10-25 years old) touring bike that fits me better (and could carry panniers of books without me having to worry about heel strike). I also do not own a car, so I was hoping to get something that I could fill that role (at least around town).
I like the bike (it's a vast improvement over a mountain bike commuter), especially the fenders and generator, but it's a little small.
