A WORD OF WARNING if your planning on using this as a campus bike and it will be left unattended for long periods of time you will want to budget extra cash for proper locks (yes thats plural) as this brand new $500 bike will disappear on you. College campuses are infamous for bike theft. I would recommend buying this bike (or one similar) for your leisurely weekend riding but try to find an older garage sale score for your campus commute.
