Loving the bike thus far. A little heavy, but so is every full-featured commuter.

I'm thinking of going single-chainring, to cut down on a bit of heft, as I'll never use this bike for anything but commuting.

I must admit, the Transworld City's are the best thing since sliced bread. Reflective sidewalls = wonderful. Haven't tried them in anything but a light drizzle, but i'll give them a test run in the approaching snow. If they don't work out, it's back to the knobbies.
