Well, after all the deliberation, my financial situation changed and so I've held off on the nice shiny new commuter for now. Just bought an old Nissan Skywagon bicycle (I know, I was surprised too, had no idea Nissan ever made bicycles) for $50 from a used bike shop and am adding components like a gel seat, lights and a rear rack to make it more commuter friendly. In the future however, I definitely have my sights set on the Linus. I tried one at a local bike shop and fell in love with it!
