It's not the bike I hate, just the
heinous logic. Kudos to the OP on his mileage, though. A $20-$100 Scwinn Le Tour from the eighties would be lighter, cheaper, more reliable, and shift better, as would a Giant Sedona (after you factor in the cost of Sora shifters, that is,

). Might even make the OP want to
increase said mileage.
