My only question, if this is to be your main transportation, would be, how much bicycle theft do you have where you live?
Thanks...I just need opinions. i.e whether I have made a good choice or if not what would be better etc...

I'm gonna use it mainly for work, so it'll me inside most of the day (when im not riding it). As for the thickness of the tires, I don't weigh much (145-150 lbs.), and I prefer tires thin enough to go pretty fast yet thick enough so I dont feel every little bump of the road.

For the wheels I'm right now thinking of getting a pair build by Harris Cyclery (Mavic A719 rims, Ultegra hub, and triple butted spokes). Think they'll go together? Any other Ideas?

Thanks
