I also use this as mu daily commuter and around town. It's light enough and no toe over lap (for me at least). I used to have a pista which was a bit lighter and tighter but with tons of overlap. Generally though I would say that this is a very sturdy bike that rides well and I don't feel bad about leaving locked up. All decals are removable except for the one on the seat tube and the head badge. A good frame for the money, probably pretty comparable to the steamroller.
