creating a commuter bike

would something like this be good? (thinking used)

Yes. I think several of our members use that bike as their commuter.

Edit, I commute mostly on my road bikes. I have a cross bike with a rack and disc brakes that I use when it's wet, or I need to carry stuff, but if it's nice out, I'm on a road bike. I keep a lot of stuff, clothes and food, at work, so I often don't have to bring anything. I also have a small handlebar bag that's big enough for lunch.
