YaY!, thanks Slim!
I have to say, I'm really floored by how helpful and nice everyone on this forum has been. I'm just not used to people being so kind and helpful over the internet. You guys really have no idea how great you all made this experience so far. I would have been clueless riding around on a $400 piece of junk (or not at all) if it weren't for everyone's input.
I feel so enthused for my upcoming purchase. I finally feel like I have a very clear cut and relatively precise idea of what I want.
Random OT: Any of you guys into meditation? Or psychedelics/entheogens?
Stay away from teh Road Cycling forum (the "41"); they are vicious in there :-) The commuting and hybrid forums aren't full of judgemental BS.
I see Novara commuter bikes at work. They look very durable and well made. The bike should last you for years! Can't wait to see pics of the modded bike.
