I used this Panasonic DX2000 for a couple months last year before I gave it away. I then used my fixed gear (For sale) and every other bike under the sun.
During the winter, I picked up this 16" Smoke 2-9. It should handle my commute much better than the Panasonic. It has 700x47's which are great on the coal/gravel rail trail that makes up 3/4 of my 14 mile ride. So far so good! The basket should do wonders for carrying my work gear and groceries. I think I would like to change the bars to something a little more comfortable soon. Pardon the poor photo, it's too dreary to drag it outside
