good i was beginning to question your husbands cycling addiction... the mark of a good bike-addict is that he will spend money to spread the addiction to those he loves!
GOOD MAN!
let him go spend some $$ on you you'll like it!
i really think you should look into something along the lines of a cyclocross/touring bike. looks like a roadie but set up a bit more comfortably... and with skinny tires it will be just about as fast. but then for commuting it will fit wider tires and fenders.
but to get a nice dependable one your looking more like 1000 buckaroos. your worth it!
