Apart from the fact that it is heavy, tell me why I shouldn't I buy this bike?
It will get a basket or rack and be used to go to the grocery store, post office, hair cut, library, Chinese food, etc. It is hilly where I live but even so, almost all the stores I need are within a mile of my home. I'm giving my beater truck away and running a turbocharged Subaru one mile to get a loaf of bread doesn't make sense. I walk most of the time and would love to do it on a nice bike instead. Upgrades are not out of the question but I really don't feel like building one from scratch.
Assume a very health end of model year discount.
