~11 mile ride on The Dale today.
While it was a 'weight loss' bike I built with spare parts and an Atlas 36h wheelset, this puppy feels pretty spry. Though I have stout wheels, a rack, and fenders, the low bar height and relative overall weight of the bike.. and geometry otherwise give it a really nimble feel. About 28 lbs even with these wheels, a 3/4 full water bottle, rack with a Morph strapped to it, and loaded seatbag ...oh, and lights.

If I was to go to work doing bike deliveries downtown, I think I'd use this one. It was cheap, and just feels like a bike you could bomb around downtown all day.
