Hey guys,

Thanks for all of the advice. My intention with this bike was simple commutes around town - nothing too intense at all. Just something fun and a little bit lighter. I used to have an 80's Bianchi 6-speed with downtube shifters and flat bars that I regretfully sold and was thinking about making some adjustments to this bike to make it similar. Also, the market here is pretty tough, I've been on the lookout for quite some time and not much in this price range or size comes through very often.

With that being said, any other thoughts?

Thanks!
