Recently decided to get my first bike since I was in high school...Picked up a 2008 Novara Big Buzz.

Mostly stock other than the accessories (rack, fenders, panniers, etc)

I have a 6 mi commute to work each way and it seems to be serving me pretty well so far.

I updated the specs on the bike at Commute By Bike: http://commutebybike.com/commuter-bi...uct.php?id=258

Enjoy!
