Hey, that looks just right! (At least, on paper.) I'll have to run by Performance and see if I can pick one up.

Outright theft is not the only thing I'm concerned about here. The campus bike racks are super crowded; anything I put there is going to get banged up a bit for sure, and probably vandalized at some point. Everything I put on this bike needs to be cheap and durable. I found the perfect bike for this situation: a vintage Raleigh 10-speed (from Nottingham) in decent shape with a horrific paint job. Now I'm setting it up with a saddle, rack, fenders, lights, etc.
