Thanks for all those that responded. I'm going to see about the price today which should come in around $2500. I don't need any other accessories other than a good set of fenders. By the way, fenders will fit the bike, hence the eyelets it comes with.
My commute is a tad under 7 miles. I live in Portland so it's 80% neighborhood Greenway, the other being bike lanes. Hardly any potholes at all. I work in an industrial area so not a lot of people traffic. We have bike racks outside but I can take the bike indoors.
Earlier I stated it would be an all around/all weather commuter which it would be but I would still ride the bike for other things as well. I have a true dedicated road bike that just won't ever see anything other than dry pavement. My spot bike kinda of like the breezer is a good bike and I still love it as much as the day I got it but I realized it's only good for short jaunts here and there. I have a nice hill that just sucks but always sucks less the few times I rode my road bike to work last summer.
If I pick up the bike then I'll definitely post pics. Thanks again for all opinions.
Good news about the fenders! Good luck & keep us posted!
