I was just up there a week ago visiting some friends and checking out the campus. I have only seen the main campus and not the engineering campus yet were I will be spending 95% of my time (I will have my 2 year from a community college before I leave). I think you are right about it being a good campus bike. I saw several stripped bikes still locked the racks around campus. Many of them were cheap and mid range mountain bikes though. I don't think most average people would look at the varsity and want to steal it. Personally, that is the most important thing about this bike. Anyway I ordered a cheap rack to throw my backpack on and some new grip tape. Also the masking tape on the brake cable there is temporary, I ran out of zip ties for the bike computer.
