That's a great bike. Here's how to evaluate it:

1. Start with the assumption that you can afford it. $3300 plus accessories... say $3800 is your budget.
2. Find a completely acceptable but cheaper bike that you would be satisfied with, subtract that cost from your budget... let's say $1000, for $2800 remaining.
3. See if there's any other extravagant item that costs $2800 that would make you feel happier than a high-zoot commuter.
