Man, you have really hit the sweet spot.
(a la Randy Jackson)
Check it out dude,
1: Low initial outlay for a great bike
2: Already built up a rapport with the LBS
3: 7 Mile commute (great on a Friday or if you are in a rush, but also great because you can add more to it as you like/time dictates)
You got it going on!
Oh yeah, bar ends rule. I use mine about 95% of the time.
