Thanks for the advice guys, I ran buy my bike shop and was talking with them and just like ya'll, they talked me out of buying a new bike or anything (good guys that actually care about the customers and not just about selling the product). They recommended that i just take my SS mountain bike and add a rack and street tires, the frame (which is a custom design from the shop itself) is matte black so it isnt too eye catching. And i would be keeping both in my apartment. Any advice on certain brands of bags or any other equipment aside from locks (everyone has been saying kryptonite so thats reassuring)
