Also, i will probably ride it sometimes during the winter and if you've never been to KS, it gets icy during the winter and the hils at KU will be hell! I am 5' 9", 135lbs., 18 y/o. What do you think?
You may want to get knobbier tread for the winter or even studs if it's crappy as you say it is. You may want more of a hybrid setting for that reason, dep. on how far...if it's just around campus and vicinity around campus, hybrid will probabally be more comfortable for you. If youre going to go the distance(more than 15 or 20 a day) get old road bike that you wont mind getting salty.
