And thank you for your comments...
I am guilty of high PSI to ensure a smoother pavement roll...can DEFINITELY feel the heavy drag when they are underinflated...and way better when they inflated near the max.
Would love to get a commuter, and could afford a decent one (but wanna say under $1500US)
The issue i have is that I'm a bit tall and heavy...6'2" and 260#
My commute is 99% pavement, with a 100yard section of easy dirt...
I am considering a Canyon Pathlite or Roadlite, but am concerned about my weight being too much for cheaper rims...
(sorry can't post links yet)
that is not a problem at all..... with enough spokes
a bit above budget but consider these

don't dismiss drop bars for commuttin....just put them up high enough...... I am commuting on a an 85 Miyata team frame with modern 105 5800 gear....30mm tubies (not tubelss) 32 spoke wheels
