    That is great. I also am in the process of getting my commuter bike ready. I have a 9 year old Voodo mtb that i first started riding on awhile ago. It used to be my husband's. I put on a rack, lights, and am waiting for the pannier to arrive from REI and a computer from Performance. I plan to use the bike for trips to the drugstore, Trader Joe's, local farm markets, and the library when I stop working this June. Oh , and to feed my caffeine addiction.
    I may try it to commute to work in a few weeks when it's a bit lighter in the AM. It's heavy compared to my road bike, so I'm a little worried about how long the trip will take. it's 13.5 miles by car and probably 15 by bike to avoid a traffic situation (a rotary).

    I am now a 3 bike person!

    Congrates on finally finding your commuter bike. Where did you go to find the lbs that specializes in commuter bikes? I commute on my trek 6500 mtb. It is ok, but it has front shocks and I don't really like that. It would be nice to see what they have out there for commuter bikes....

    I went to Saturday Cycles in West Bountful. Its a tiny little shop only opened on Saturdays. Their add is in this months cycling utah. It was worth the drive, for me anyway. He had a beautiful Rivendal frame but sadly it was outside of my budget.

    I road my lovely Bianchi to work for the first time today. It was so enjoyable. The only sad thing is I still had to back pack it since the paniers are on order. But they will be here soon enough.

    Who are the Bianchistes and how do I join?
