How tall are you? 20.5" frame should be good for 5' 10"ish to 6' 3"ish and can be pushed a bit further with the right seat post and stem (and pehaps riser bars). If you can get the bike to fit you comfortably, slap on some 26 x 1.25 slicks and work on building your engine. If it doesn't fit, get a different bike (even if that means used for now).
I stand 6'3". The seat post is already about an inch beyond the safety line and its still a little low.
I think I just need to take it to the lbs and see what can be done and what its going to cost.
On a side note the reason I bring up the topic of going new or tweaking what I have is because ill be moving soon and the commute will go from 6miles RT to about 25 miles RT. I will definitely want to be on something sturdy yet reasonably quick when the time comes.
