Hi every one if you all would entertain my question i would highly appreciate it.

Ok so i have heard that the Cross Check makes for a great commuter but I have also heard and read that it is not a great bike its just ok. Some of the issues i have read/heard include that its CS's are too short and you have pannier issues and that it is actually quite heavy. Also i have heard/read that it gets a little unstable when loaded. MY question is to all you cross checkers or others is the cross check a good commuting bike or is it ok and there are greener pastures with other choices.
