anonymouse99, would you recommend the SU200 as a low-maintenance bike for a 10-mile one-way commute? Is it fast enough to make that ride? Also, I'm in Oregon where it rains 8 months a year. The main reasons I'm looking at it are price and the disc brakes. I'll have about $100 to spare after buying the bike to add things like bar-ends, fenders, rack, etc.

My main concerns with it are speed, maintenance, and the aluminum frame (is it a harsh ride or do the fatter tires make it somewhat smooth?)
