C162, I will level with you:

Generally, WM bikes are trash; there are just enough bikes sold by WM (between the stores and the '.com') to count good ones on fingers of one hand. On the upside, you have picked one that isn't trash.

The Paver is surprisingly sturdy (btw, you must be kinda tall!), and while I don't care for the ride, it would serve you. Detailed tuning is mandatory; most WM's do not have competent assemblers. If you have a neighbor who can help, by all means....

1 mile for a commute is irrelevant; you want to ride, ride!
