I built this bike to be a fun commuter to class, the grocery store, etc. Although I was looking for something a bit more comfortable that I could beat on, I also wanted something quick that looked good. This is the first incarnation of that goal. This setup was pieced together with about 40% new parts and 60% parts I bought secondhand or had laying around. I think it came out pretty nice anyway!
