Well, they have a Mongoose Sabrosa SS for 500 that I absolutely love and adore but after thinking over my current 4mi commute a few times with the 2-3% grades, I decided on a multi-speed. I ride a straight stretch of road for my commute, I'm in the suburbs and the road's really quiet and smooth so i figured a singlespeed might not be a good choice. But hey a few more weeks of saving and I might be able to get that Sabrosa I've longed for.

The thing is, I don't want to over work myself getting to work on the uphill and not being able to go full speed when i go home on the downhill as I often love to do on my 18 speed loaner.

Opinions?
