Y'all got some perty bikes. I present you with the Millennial Falcon (get it, cause I'm a Millennial) - the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Just rolled over the 500 mile mark this morning (yeah, I know, some of y'all do that real quick). I have been riding it since this spring-ish, and only lately have become more committed to riding it instead of in my car. It is about 2 or 3 sizes too small for me, hence the handlebars taken off of a junked Pacific (also when I procured the bike, the brifters were messed up - I got one of them working and the other can be sent off to some guy who can fix 7 and 8 speed brifters). It's already paid for itself multiple times over if using the federal POV rates, and that's all I can ask of any commuter, really. BTW - plan on switching from road SPDs to double sided mountain SPDs (so I can have a platform on one side) and eventually get a better saddle. This one was a take off from my Synapse. It is better than the squishy/slippery foam one that came on this bike
