That on a work commute makes me nervous, just to think about.
The bike is a Mercier Corvus, same as the ones they sell at bikesdirect.com. The price of the bike was less than the components would cost so I figured even if the frame was cheap I could still replace the frame and have a good bike. So far the frame has been doing good though. Since no shops were open at that time of morning I decided to take my hydrapack in addition to the two bottles so I would have 4 hours of fluids with me (I finished the last of my water 2 miles from home so it was a pretty good estimate). I put the all in one tool and the patch kit in the hydraspack. I usually keep all that in a rack trunk but didn't want to mess with the trunk on a fifty miler with all that climbing.
