Find a touring bike? Add fenders, slightly more modern components, and your choice of handlebars. Throw on some fatter tires, ad you're there. This my usual commuter, but I have been taking different bikes lately since the weather has improved. Variety is fun, hehe. I agree, find your size first. Stand over the frame, if you don't have a measuring tape with you. Take an allen wrench with you, to adjust saddle height to your leg length. If you find yourself leaning on the hard on the bars, it usually will not be a good fit. If you do a little research first, knowing what size bike to look for will be as natural as buying a new shirt, hehe.,,,,BD
