That does help a lot. There is a bike shop that is close to me and I'll be able to get to it easily if I had problems. They sponsor a lot of events around town and really promote commuting so I'd like to get to know them better. I'll have to stop in there soon.

How much should I pay for that Giant?
eta: prices here are a bit more than on other areas because I live on an island and everything is brought across on the ferries. Ferry fees really add to costs from what I've heard.
