My "new" commuter - a rebuilt 1980 Schwinn World Tourist. It's a pretty decent light touring bike with a CrMo frame and a nice upright geometry. I originally bought it for my wife to ride, but she has never ridden a bike before, and due to ongoing health issues, will do better learning on the Huffy, with it's fat tires and lower step-over.
In the mean time, I get a much nicer ride for my commute! At least until I get the Romic that a friend gave me rebuilt. :3 Then I'll have a REALLY nice ride~
