It's a nice bike, for a great price, but you chose the wrong forum to show it off. Have this moved to the commuting or touring forum and you'll have praise heaped upon you.
I like to ride 30 - 50 miles on the weekend, so I need a place to put my wallet, phone, and keys.
I ride 30-50 miles on the weekend too. Wallet, phone and keys each go in one of the three pockets on my jersey. Covenient.
I also need a patch kit and pump for when I pop a tire. I don't want to get stuck someplace 50 miles from home and have to walk it back.
Spare tube, CO2, tire levers. All fit in a seat post bag.
If I did not get free parking at my work, I would use this bike as a daily commuter.
As currently set up, you
MUST use it as a daily commuter. Forget the free parking. Think of the gas money you can save! Consider clipless pedals, IMHO.
Sorry for the pictures, my camera takes big pictures. I set it on the small picture setting and they still come out huge
Picture size is fine, good detail. Next time, however, make sure the chain is on the big chain ring, pedals a 2 o'clock and garage door (preferably white) in the background.
