should do me then; we're in the same range. it's neat to have someone else in the forum who's a convert to your own favourite bike - i have to admit i'm so VERY happy about getting this one i have trouble not bending the ear of total strangers who don't give a damn. the guy who recommended it did tell me it was jamis' version of taking a road bike and making it commuter-worthy, so it all looks good. if it lives for three years i'll be thrilled.

cyclocomputer, yossarian? i wot not of cyclocomputers. some mornings i can't even get my stopwatch to work. actually if i can start out by matching my regular times from the last of the winter commute after two months of enthusiastic couch-potatodom, i'll consider that all the accolade this bike would need. i've done nothing but read and mess around with the shrinking properties of white buffalo wool, and a big day was when i changed out of pjs before 3 pm. it's been great
